Ingredients

  • 1 lb pork shoulder thinly sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons cilantro roots chopped
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • ½ teaspoon white pepper
  • ¼ cup coconut milk
  • Skewers soaked in water for 30 minutes

Instructions

  • Prepare the Marinade. Combine minced garlic, chopped cilantro roots, oyster sauce, soy sauce, fish sauce, sugar, white pepper, and coconut milk in a large mixing bowl. Whisk until well blended. This marinade creates a harmonious blend of sweet, salty, and umami flavors, essential for authentic Moo Ping.
  • Marinate the Pork. Add the thinly sliced pork to the marinade, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for maximum flavor infusion. Marinating allows the pork to absorb all the rich flavors, making it tender and flavorful.
  • Skewer the Pork Thread the marinated pork slices onto the soaked skewers, ensuring the pieces are evenly spaced. This step ensures the pork cooks evenly and makes for easy handling on the grill. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  • Grill to Perfection. Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, occasionally basting with leftover marinade until the pork is cooked and has a nice char. Grilling imparts a smoky flavor and crispy edges, enhancing the dish's overall taste.
