Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Pork tenderloin
- 0.5 cup Coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Fish sauce
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 0.5 cup Peanut butter (sugar-free)
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon Stevia or erythritol sweetener
- 1 teaspoon Chili garlic paste
- 8 Bamboo skewers
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
Begin by slicing the pork tenderloin into thin strips, about 1-inch wide, suitable for skewering.
In a medium bowl, combine 0.5 cup of coconut milk, soy sauce, fish sauce, lime juice, minced garlic, ground ginger, coriander, cumin, and turmeric. Mix well to create the marinade.
Add the pork strips to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably 2-3 hours for optimal flavor penetration.
While the pork marinates, prepare the peanut sauce. In a saucepan, gently heat 0.5 cup of peanut butter with 0.5 cup of coconut milk over low heat, stirring until smooth.
Add the stevia or erythritol sweetener and chili garlic paste to the peanut sauce, mixing until well combined. Simmer for 5 minutes, then set aside.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated pork onto the bamboo skewers, dividing evenly.
Grill the skewers for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until the pork is fully cooked and has nice grill marks.
Serve the pork skewers hot, drizzled with the prepared peanut sauce and sprinkled with fresh cilantro.
