Ingredients
-
-
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped (sometimes I use a whole head)
-
10 -12 sprigs cilantro, finely chopped
-
4 tablespoons fish sauce (get this at any asian food store, one brand I use is Tiparos)
-
1 tablespoon soy sauce
-
4 ounces thick coconut cream (1/2 cup, fresh tastes best, then canned, but I usually use powdered for convience. Prepare according)
-
4 ounces cooking oil (1/2 cup)
-
1 tablespoon sugar
-
1/2 teaspoon white pepper (yes, in a pinch you can use black, but the white has a better flavor)
-
1 lb thinly sliced pork or 2 pork steaks, cut into quarters (8 pieces total)
-
1 tablespoon fish sauce
-
2 limes, juice of (or use 2 tbs rice wine vinigar)
-
1 tablespoon soy sauce
-
-
1 teaspoon chili powder
Instructions
- Pork& Marinade:Combine everything (but the pork) untill it's all blended together well.
- Add the pork and let sit for at least 30 minutes.
- I like to let it sit in the fridge overnight.
- Some people like to use dishes or bowls to marinade the meat, but I like to use large zipper seal bags.
- While the meat is soaking we can get going on the dipping sauce: Mix everything together and taste.
- If it's too spicy-hot, just add a little more sugar, fish sauce, and lime juice till the flavor is right.
- When it's time to cook the meat, start your grill (I prefer charcoal).
- Skewer the meat if thats what you are doing, and place the items on the grill.
- Cook both sides evenly for a couple of minutes and make sure it's cooked all the way through.
- When eating, dip the meat into the sauce and enjoy.
