Ingredients
  • 1 small Onion; chopped
  • 1 inch piece Ginger root; chopped
  • 2 cloves Garlic; chopped
  • 1 piece Dried Red Chili
  • 1 tsp Chinese chili sauce
  • 1 lime grated rind and juice
  • 2 tbsp Soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp Brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp Vegetable oil
  • 12 oz Pork tenderloin
  • 1/4 cup Peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup Soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup Fresh lime juice
  • 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
  • 3 tbsp Coriander; chopped
  • 1 tbsp Brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp Chinese chili sauce; or 1/4 tsp dried chili flakes
Directions
  1. 1
    Soak 18 bamboo skewers in water for at least 1 hour to prevent burning while grilling.
  2. 2
    In a food processor or blender, combine the chopped onion, ginger, garlic, dried red chili, Chinese chili sauce, lime rind and juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, and vegetable oil. Puree until smooth.
  3. 3
    Pour the marinade into a bowl. Cut the pork tenderloin into 6-inch lengths, then slice each length into 1/2-inch wide strips.
  4. 4
    Thread the pork strips onto the soaked bamboo skewers. Pour the marinade over the skewers, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  5. 5
    Preheat a grill or broiler. Grill the pork satays for about 2 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and lightly charred.
  6. 6
    To make the Peanut Lime Sauce, place the peanut butter in a small bowl. Slowly whisk in the soy sauce, fresh lime juice, rice vinegar, brown sugar, and Chinese chili sauce (or chili flakes) until smooth.
  7. 7
    Garnish the sauce with the chopped coriander. Serve the hot satays immediately with the dipping sauce.
