Nonya Pork Skewers

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Marinate the Pork

    In a bowl, combine turmeric, coriander, cumin, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Cut the pork tenderloin into bite-sized cubes and add them to the marinade. Mix well to coat the pork evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for best results.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Pineapple Peanut Sauce

    In a saucepan, combine diced pineapple, peanut butter, coconut milk, chili flakes, and a pinch of salt. Cook over medium heat until the mixture is heated through and slightly thickened, about 5-7 minutes. Stir occasionally and adjust seasoning as necessary.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Skewers

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Thread the marinated pork pieces onto the soaked skewers, leaving a little space between each piece.

  4. 4

    Grill the Skewers

    Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the pork is cooked through and has nice grill marks.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the skewers from the grill and serve hot with the pineapple peanut sauce drizzled on top or on the side.
