Moo Ping Recipe (Thai Pork Skewers)

Nguyên liệu

• 5 cloves garlic
• 2 coriander roots
• 1.2 lb pork (thinly sliced, see notes)
• ¼ cup coconut milk
• 2 tbsp oyster sauce
• 1½ tbsp light soy sauce
• ½ tbsp dark soy sauce
• 2½ tbsp palm sugar
• 1 tsp white pepper
• 1 tbsp tapioca starch

Cách làm

1. 1

   Prep the aromatics: Using a mortar and pestle, pound the garlic and coriander roots together until they form a rough paste.

2. 2

   Mix the marinade: In a large bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, palm sugar, oyster sauce, light and dark soy sauces, tapioca starch, and white pepper. Add the pounded spices.

3. 3

   Marinate: Add the thinly sliced pork to the bowl and toss thoroughly to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (ideally overnight) for the best flavor.

4. 4

   Prepare the skewers: Soak your bamboo skewers in water for 20 minutes to prevent burning, then thread the marinated pork strips tightly onto the sticks.

5. 5

   Grill and glaze: Lightly oil your grill and cook over medium heat for 2–3 minutes per side. Flip until the pork is fully cooked and has a beautiful, caramelized char.

6. 6

   Serve: Enjoy hot, traditionally served with a side of warm sticky rice (khao niao).
