Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Soak bamboo skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.

  2. Step 2

    In a bowl, combine coconut milk, fish sauce, palm sugar, garlic, coriander, and turmeric. Add pork cubes and marinate for at least 15 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Thread marinated pork onto skewers, leaving small gaps between pieces.

  4. Step 4

    Whisk together peanut butter, coconut milk, fish sauce, lime juice, palm sugar, chili paste, and garlic in a saucepan over medium-low heat.

  5. Step 5

    Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sauce is smooth and creamy. Add water if too thick.

  6. Step 6

    Heat a charcoal grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill satay skewers for 3-4 minutes per side until pork is cooked through and lightly charred.

  7. Step 7

    Arrange satay on a platter with cucumber and red onion slices. Drizzle peanut sauce over satay or serve on the side.

  8. Step 8

    Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges.
