How is Pork used in Thai cooking?

Pork - neua moo - is the everyday meat of much of Thailand, prized for its fat and tender texture and folded into all kinds of dishes, from grilled skewers to curries and stir-fries. The far South eats less of it, and it's left out of Jewish and Muslim diets, a taboo rooted deep in tradition; wild pork is the most prized and expensive. In the North and Akha kitchens pork is the default protein, taking herbs, chili, and fermented seasonings beautifully. Different cuts suit different dishes, from quick stir-fries to long, slow braises.
