Ingredients

Directions

  1. Soak wooden skewers in water for 20 minutes to prevent burning.
  2. Cut the pork tenderloin into 1-inch cubes and place them in a bowl.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, vegetable oil, lime juice, lime rind, and chili sauce.
  4. Toss the pork cubes with the marinade until evenly coated. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  5. Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
  6. Thread the marinated pork onto the skewers, leaving a small space between each piece.
  7. Grill the pork skewers for 3-4 minutes per side, or until cooked through and slightly charred.
  8. While the pork cooks, make the peanut sauce: In a small saucepan, combine crushed peanuts, coconut milk, water, chopped onion, ginger, garlic, and dried red chili.
  9. Simmer the sauce over medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the flavors meld and the sauce thickens slightly.
  10. Remove from heat and stir in a splash of lime juice and soy sauce to taste.
  11. Serve the hot pork skewers immediately with the warm peanut sauce for dipping.
