Ingredients

• 1 pound Pork tenderloin
• 0.5 cup Coconut milk
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Fish sauce
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground turmeric
• 0.5 cup Peanut butter (sugar-free)
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened coconut milk
• 1 tablespoon Stevia or erythritol sweetener
• 1 teaspoon Chili garlic paste
• 8 Bamboo skewers
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Begin by slicing the pork tenderloin into thin strips, about 1-inch wide, suitable for skewering.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine 0.5 cup of coconut milk, soy sauce, fish sauce, lime juice, minced garlic, ground ginger, coriander, cumin, and turmeric. Mix well to create the marinade.

Step 3

Add the pork strips to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably 2-3 hours for optimal flavor penetration.

Step 4

While the pork marinates, prepare the peanut sauce. In a saucepan, gently heat 0.5 cup of peanut butter with 0.5 cup of coconut milk over low heat, stirring until smooth.

Step 5

Add the stevia or erythritol sweetener and chili garlic paste to the peanut sauce, mixing until well combined. Simmer for 5 minutes, then set aside.

Step 6

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

Step 7

Thread the marinated pork onto the bamboo skewers, dividing evenly.

Step 8

Grill the skewers for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until the pork is fully cooked and has nice grill marks.

Step 9

Serve the pork skewers hot, drizzled with the prepared peanut sauce and sprinkled with fresh cilantro.
