Marinade and Satay

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Marinate the Pork

    In a large bowl, combine turmeric powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, minced garlic, minced shallots, soy sauce, palm sugar, and chopped kaffir lime leaves. Mix well to form a marinade. Cut the pork tenderloin into bite-sized cubes and add to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.

  3. 3

    Skewering the Pork

    Thread the marinated pork cubes onto the skewers. Leave a little space between each piece for even cooking.

  4. 4

    Grill the Satay

    Once the grill is hot, lightly oil the grates. 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 satay from the grill and let it rest for a couple of minutes before serving. Pair with pineapple peanut sauce.
