Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds pork shoulder
• 0.25 cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons fish sauce
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 2 cloves minced garlic
• 0.5 cup coconut milk
• 1 stalk lemongrass
• 12 pieces wooden skewers
• 0.5 cup creamy peanut butter
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 0.25 cup warm water

Directions

Step 1

Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning during grilling.

Step 2

Cut the pork shoulder into thin, bite-sized strips, approximately 1/4-inch thick.

Step 3

In a bowl, combine soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, turmeric, ground coriander, minced garlic, and coconut milk to create a marinade.

Step 4

Finely chop the lemongrass stalk and add it to the marinade.

Step 5

Add the pork strips to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated, and let them marinate for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator. For best results, marinate overnight.

Step 6

Thread the marinated pork strips onto the soaked skewers.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Grill the pork skewers for 5-7 minutes on each side until the pork is fully cooked and slightly charred, ensuring to baste with remaining marinade as it cooks.

Step 9

While the pork is grilling, prepare the peanut sauce by mixing creamy peanut butter, lime juice, ground ginger, honey, and warm water in a small bowl. Stir until smooth and adjust consistency with additional water if needed.

Step 10

Serve the grilled pork satay hot, accompanied by the peanut sauce for dipping.
