Preparation
- Step 1
Prepare a charcoal grill or preheat the broiler. Soak 20 bamboo skewers in cold water to cover for 20 minutes.
- Step 2
In the bowl of a food processor, combine the coconut milk and peanuts and process until the mixture forms a fairly smooth paste. Transfer to a large bowl and stir in the scallions, fish sauce, garlic, chili pepper, sugar and black pepper. Add the pork cubes and toss to coat. Set aside to marinate for 20 minutes.
- Step 3
Drain and pat the bamboo skewers dry. Thread 3 pork cubes on each skewer and grill or broil on a broiler pan, turning as needed, until the pork is nicely browned and cooked all the way through, about 6 minutes. Serve immediately.
Private Notes
Comments
I agree with the note about being too salty - a mix of fish sauce and water would be better. I used peanut butter as I didn't have peanuts and the result was still delicious. I recommend cutting the cubes larger than 1" (2"-3") to keep the pork juicy.
I used almond butter instead of the peanuts. The meat cooked up beautifully, although it took a bit longer than 6 minutes (cubes may have been larger than 1 inch). I found this a bit too salty. Next time, I would cut the fish sauce in half and sub in water.
