PORK SATAY WITH THAI SPICES AND PEANUT SAUCE



Pork Satay With Thai Spices and Peanut Sauce image

Throughout Southeast Asia, little skewers of marinated meat, grilled over coals, are sold as street snacks. Sweetly fragrant with coconut milk and spices, they are perfect for barbecue parties served with steamed rice, or on their own with drinks, whether grilled indoors or out. You may use pork loin or tenderloin, but marbled sirloin or shoulder is more succulent.

  • For the rice and cucumber side salad, simply combine cooked rice, chopped cucumber, red onion, and cilantro. Dress the salad with a mixture of lime juice, fish sauce, and sugar.
