Thai Pork Skewers


Recipe Name: Thai Pork Skewers

Story:
I went to a cooking class by a famous chef in Nashville.  The chef is Indian, but had spent some time in Thailand.  He taught us how to cook this recipe and it is incredible, quite authentic, and pretty easy to make.  However, the ingredients can be hard to find.  Any asian market will have the ingredients.

Years you've been making it: Since 2017

Author / Creator: Nashville Chef (can't remember his name)

Submitted by: Dustin

Ingredients:
1 tbls black peppercorns
1 tsp white peppercorns
6 garlic cloves
1 bunch cilantro stems
3 tbls palm sugar
2 tbls oyster sauce
1-2 tbls thai soy sauce (this is lighter soy sauce, but different from "light soy sauce")
2 tbls black soy sauce
6 tbls coconut cream
3 lbs pork butt

Directions:
Muddle first 5 ingredients in a mortar pestle
Add liquid
Cut pork butt into 1.5 inch pieces

Add marinade for 2-3hrs, then grill on very high heat

Can use oven broiler, but grilling is preferred

Squeeze lemon juice to finish

Notes:
I like this recipe so much, I have doubled and even quadrupled the recipe, marinaded pork over night, and then divided the pork into packages and froze them to take out and defrost as needed.
