Grilled Thai Pork Skewers Food

THAI-STYLE GRILLED PORK SKEWERS | MOO YANG

Steps:

• If using wooden or bamboo skewers, soak them in water for at least 1 hour to prevent them from burning.
• Meanwhile, combine all the ingredients but the pork in a large bowl and mix well. Add the pork and marinate for at least half an hour.
• Fire up the grill (preferably a charcoal one) and let it settle on medium or medium-high flames.
• Weave the strips of pork onto the skewers, allowing as much of the marinade to cling to the pork as you desire. Grill, turning a few times, until the pork is cooked through, 5 to 8 minutes.
• Serve the grilled pork skewers immediately.

GRILLED THAI PORK SKEWERS

Steps:

• Mix together the coconut cream, curry paste, sugar, lime juice and fish sauce in a non-metallic bowl. Cut the pork into about 1in cubes and stir into the sauce. Leave to marinate in the fridge overnight or for about 2 hours at room temperature, stirring every so often.
• To make up the skewers, thread pieces of pork on to six long metal skewers, alternating with red onion and lime wedges until all have been used up.
• Place the skewers over medium-hot coals for about 10 minutes, brushing generously with any marinade for the first 5 minutes, and turning every so often until golden and succulent.

THAI-STYLE GROUND PORK SKEWERS

Steps:

• Combine pork, sugar, fish sauce, garlic, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix together thoroughly. Dissolve baking powder in 1 tablespoon water and blend completely into the pork mixture. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Thread a handful of the pork mixture through a skewer using lightly oiled hands. Shape meat into a 1-inch-thick sausage around the skewer. Repeat with the remaining pork and skewers.
• Grill skewers, turning as needed, until browned on all sides and no longer pink in the center, about 15 minutes. Cut each sausage into bite-sized pieces before serving.
