Grilled pork skewers (satay) Recipe

Thai · Main course · 30 min total

These Thai-inspired grilled pork skewers are marinated in a fragrant blend of coconut milk, turmeric, and spices, then grilled to juicy perfection. Serve with a rich peanut sauce for an irresistible appetizer or main course.

Ingredients

• 1 lb pork shoulder, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 1/2 cup coconut milk
• 2 tbsp fish sauce
• 1 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tbsp curry powder
• 1 tsp ground turmeric
• 1/2 tsp ground cumin
• 1/2 tsp ground coriander
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp vegetable oil
• 8 bamboo skewers, soaked in water 30 minutes
• For peanut sauce: 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter, 1/4 cup coconut milk, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp lime juice, 1 tsp brown sugar, 1/2 tsp chili flakes

Instructions

1. In a bowl, whisk together coconut milk, fish sauce, brown sugar, curry powder, turmeric, cumin, coriander, and garlic until smooth.
2. Add pork cubes, toss to coat, cover, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour (or up to 4 hours).
3. Thread 4-5 pork cubes onto each soaked skewer, pressing together slightly.
4. Preheat grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates.
5. Grill skewers, turning occasionally, until pork is cooked through and slightly charred, about 8-10 minutes.
6. Meanwhile, make peanut sauce: whisk together peanut butter, coconut milk, soy sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, and chili flakes in a small saucepan over low heat until smooth. Add water if too thick.
7. Serve skewers hot with peanut sauce on the side.

Tips

• For extra flavor, add 1 tablespoon of finely chopped lemongrass to the marinade.
• If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
• Leftover skewers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat in a skillet or oven.
