Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds pork shoulder
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 0.5 cup coconut milk
- 1 stalk lemongrass
- 12 pieces wooden skewers
- 0.5 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 0.25 cup warm water
Instructions
Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning during grilling.
Cut the pork shoulder into thin, bite-sized strips, approximately 1/4-inch thick.
In a bowl, combine soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, turmeric, ground coriander, minced garlic, and coconut milk to create a marinade.
Finely chop the lemongrass stalk and add it to the marinade.
Add the pork strips to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated, and let them marinate for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator. For best results, marinate overnight.
Thread the marinated pork strips onto the soaked skewers.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Grill the pork skewers for 5-7 minutes on each side until the pork is fully cooked and slightly charred, ensuring to baste with remaining marinade as it cooks.
While the pork is grilling, prepare the peanut sauce by mixing creamy peanut butter, lime juice, ground ginger, honey, and warm water in a small bowl. Stir until smooth and adjust consistency with additional water if needed.
Serve the grilled pork satay hot, accompanied by the peanut sauce for dipping.
