Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Soak skewers in cold water for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk together fish sauce, palm sugar, garlic, and lime juice in a small bowl.

  2. Step 2

    Thread pork slices tightly onto skewers, accordion-folding each strip so it layers compactly from base to tip.

  3. Step 3

    Brush the glaze generously over all sides of the pork skewers, coating them well.

  4. Step 4

    Heat a grill or grill pan to high. Grill skewers 2 to 3 minutes per side until edges char and meat firms up.

  5. Step 5

    Transfer to a plate and brush with any remaining glaze while still hot. Let rest 2 minutes before serving.

Tools you’ll need
