MOO PING - THAI PORK SKEWERS

Introduction & method

Moo Ping (literally Grilled Pork) are little skewers of porky deliciousness, and probably Thailand's most popular street food.

 Moo Ping - Thai Pork Skewers Recipe

Prep the pork


The pork should be shoulder or loin (not belly). You'll need about 100 grams (3.5 ounces) per person. Chop the pork into bite-sized chunks. If there's any fat on the meat, leave it on - it'll help with the flavour.

Make the marinade


Finely chop the coriander (cilantro) and pound it to a paste with the white pepper and garlic. Mix the fish sauce, soy sauce and honey, and add the paste. Pour into a freezer bag and add the chunks of meat. Massage the bag to get all the meat coated, and put in the fridge to marinate, ideally overnight, but at least 2 hours.

Assemble the skewers


Thread 4-5 pieces of meat onto a skewer - you should have 2 skewers per person. Brush all over with coconut milk. Place on a barbecue or under a hot grill (broiler) and cook for 5 minutes. Brush with coconut milk again, and cook for another 5 minutes. Depending on how hot your heat source is, the meat should now be cooked. If not, give them a few minutes more.

Serve the Moo Ping


Serve the meat on the skewers with some Thai sticky rice.
