Ingredients

• 1 pound pork tenderloin
• 0.25 cup coconut aminos
• 2 teaspoons fresh ginger
• 3 cloves garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 0.25 cup coconut milk
• 1 teaspoon curry powder
• 0.5 teaspoon chili flakes
• 0.25 cup almond butter
• 1 tablespoon fish sauce
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 8 bamboo skewers
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Soak the bamboo skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.

Step 2

Thinly slice the pork tenderloin into strips about 1/4 inch thick, threading each strip onto the skewers.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, combine coconut aminos, grated ginger, minced garlic, honey, lime juice, coconut milk, curry powder, and chili flakes. Mix well to create a marinade.

Step 4

Place the pork skewers in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, ideally longer for better flavor.

Step 5

For the dipping sauce, whisk together almond butter, coconut aminos, lime juice, fish sauce, and a tablespoon of coconut milk in a small bowl until smooth. Set aside.

Step 6

Once ready, preheat your grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat.

Step 7

Brush the grill with olive oil to prevent sticking, then add the pork skewers.

Step 8

Grill the skewers for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the pork is cooked through and has nice grill marks.

Step 9

Remove the skewers from the grill and allow them to rest for a few minutes.

Step 10

Serve the pork skewers with the almond butter dipping sauce and garnish with fresh cilantro.
