This is an excellent dish! Great flavors and tender. I cooked the skewers on the George Forman grill. The sauce is wonderful too. What a nice alternative to herb rubbed and roasted pork tenderloin. Thanks, Bobby!

I made this for a group of 8 guys (doubled the recipe and it wasn't nearly enough... they ate every scrap of pork. I'm just delighted I have leftover peanut sauce to toss into pasta!
This was easily the favorite and I can't wait to make again. It's fantastic and a showstopper for a crowd.

A note for lulu_ting: Why on earth did you bother reviewing this and giving it a five-star rating? It's as if someone were to review a recipe for home-made tomato soup and wrote "I didn't have any of the ingredients but I did have a can of Campbells Tomato soup on hand so I cooked that and it was delicious. Maybe next time I'll make this recipe as written."
Now that I've gotten that off my chest I will say that Bobby's recipe was delicious and approachable. I have made far more complicated satay recipes containing ingredients such as galanga, kaffir lime leaves, palm sugar, tamarind paste, and lemon grass. It was a pain in the butt to find everything and put it all together. Bobby's satay gives a similar flavor profile without all the muss and fuss. Meat was tender and juicy with a lovely hint of peanutty goodness. Will definitely make again
