Pork Marinade:
- 1 1/2- 2 lbs pork loin, cut into 1-inch sections
- 1 cup canned coconut milk
- 1/4 cup peanut butter
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- 1/3 cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp Thai chili sauce
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- 2 tbsp minced fresh cilantro
- 1 tbsp turmeric
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp coriander
For the Peanut Sauce:
- 1 cup dry roasted peanuts
- 2 tbsp brown sugar substitute
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tsp toasted sesame oil
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
- 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
Instructions
Prepare the Pork Skewers:
- Place cut pork in a bowl. Combine all the pork marinade ingredients and stir to combine. Pour the marinade over the pork. Toss to combine (I used my hands to make sure every piece of pork was coated in the marinade). Let marinate for at least 30 minutes or overnight. Meanwhile, soak 12 6-inch bamboo skewers in water.
Prepare the Peanut Sauce:
- Pulse the peanuts briefly in a food processor just until finely ground. Add the garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar substitute, cayenne and coconut milk, and process until well puréed. Transfer to a bowl, then taste and adjust seasoning. Thin a bit with lime juice or water as desired.
Cook the Pork Satay:
- Thread 4-6 cubes of of pork onto each bamboo skewer. Grill over hot coals, under the broiler or on a stovetop grill pan for 3-5 minutes on the first side and then flip over the skewers and broil under beginning to brown (about 3 additional minutes), or until cooked through and lightly browned. Transfer to a platter and garnish with cilantro and basil leaves. Serve with peanut sauce
