Note

The peanut sauce can be prepared up to 1 day in advance. Cover and refrigerate. Reheat gently before serving, adding a splash of chicken broth if the sauce has thickened too much.

If using a grill, ensure the grates are well-oiled to prevent sticking. If your pork strips are very thin, they may cook faster than 3 minutes per side, so check for doneness carefully.

For a spicier sauce, increase the amount of jalapeño or add a dash of red pepper flakes. For a milder version, remove the seeds and ribs from the jalapeño before mincing.

Bamboo skewers must be soaked in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling or broiling to prevent them from catching fire.
