Contents(4項)▾

Ingredients
- 800 g pork shoulder, cut into 2 cm cubes
- 200 ml coconut milk
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 sprigs coriander root, chopped
- 50 ml fish sauce
- 50 g palm sugar
- skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
Steps
In a bowl, combine coconut milk, garlic, coriander root, fish sauce, and palm sugar to create a marinade. Mix well until sugar dissolves. Marinate pork cubes for at least 2 hours or overnight for better flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium heat (around 200°C). While the grill heats, thread the marinated pork onto the soaked skewers, ensuring even spacing for proper cooking.
Grill the skewers for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the edges are caramelized and the pork is cooked through. The sugar in the marinade will help create a delicious crust.
Remove skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring moist and flavorful meat.
Why this works
Moo Ping is a classic Thai dish that showcases the art of marinating and grilling. The combination of coconut milk, garlic, coriander root, fish sauce, and palm sugar creates a unique marinade that infuses the pork with flavors while also tenderizing the meat. Coconut milk adds richness, while palm sugar caramelizes during grilling, creating those enticing mahogany edges. If the pork seems too dry after grilling, it might be slightly overcooked; ensure the grill temperature is not too high, and keep an eye on the cooking time. Proper moisture retention can also be aided by allowing the skewers to rest before serving, which helps maintain juiciness. This technique not only ensures deliciously tender skewers but also teaches the skill of caramelization, a crucial element in making many Thai dishes.
