Ingredients

1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce

1/4 cup oyster sauce

3 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro leaves and stems

2 tablespoons finely chopped garlic

2 tablespoons sugar

1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 1/2 pounds pork tenderloin, cut into 16 pieces

16 (6-inch) wooden skewers, soaked in cold water for 30 minutes

Chile Sauce, recipe follows

Chile Sauce:

1/2 cup fresh lime juice

1/4 cup fish sauce

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 fresh Thai red chile, finely diced

2 teaspoons sugar

1 shallot, finely diced

Directions

  1. Whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, cilantro, garlic, sugar, and black pepper in a bowl.
  2. Skewer 2 pieces of pork onto 2 skewers so that the meat lies flat. Place the pork skewers in a large baking dish. Pour the marinade over and turn to coat the pork. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 4 hours.
  3. Heat grill to high. Remove the skewers from the marinade and grill the meat on both sides until slightly charred and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Serve with Chili Sauce on the side for dipping.

My first time trying this recipe, and I followed it to the letter. The marinade is just fantastic, and the pork was quite tender and flavorful. But the sauce is far too sour and salty. Too much lime juice! Also, divide the recipe by 2 in order to get a usable amount for the meat. But I shall try this again, with less lime juice, for appetizers. I think it will be a hit.
