   Sompon Nabnian's recipe from the Chiang Mai Thai Cookery School

   Kay's notes:

   I made a double recipe and added 3/4 pound red snapper.  I usually
   like to make this with shrimp.  I'll boil the shrimp, remove it from
   the water, and then cook the pork in the shrimp water.  I use the
   reserved shrimp and pork water in the dressing.

   When Sompon says small chiles he is referring to what we call bird's
   eye chiles here in Los Angeles.  I've also seen them sold as Thai
   chiles. They are prik khii noo in Thai.

   If you don't have access to Chinese celery you can substitute regular
   celery.
