Moo Ping - Thai Pork Skewers

Introduction & method

Moo Ping (literally Grilled Pork) are little skewers of porky deliciousness, and probably Thailand's most popular street food.

Prep the pork

The pork should be shoulder or loin (not belly). You'll need about 100 grams (3.5 ounces) per person. Chop the pork into bite-sized chunks. If there's any fat on the meat, leave it on - it'll help with the flavour.

Make the marinade

Finely chop the coriander (cilantro) and pound it to a paste with the white pepper and garlic. Mix the fish sauce, soy sauce and honey, and add the paste. Pour into a freezer bag and add the chunks of meat. Massage the bag to get all the meat coated, and put in the fridge to marinate, ideally overnight, but at least 2 hours.

Assemble the skewers

Thread 4-5 pieces of meat onto a skewer - you should have 2 skewers per person. Brush all over with coconut milk. Place on a barbecue or under a hot grill (broiler) and cook for 5 minutes. Brush with coconut milk again, and cook for another 5 minutes. Depending on how hot your heat source is, the meat should now be cooked. If not, give them a few minutes more.

Serve the Moo Ping

Serve the meat on the skewers with some Thai sticky rice.
