Pork Satay (Moo Satay)

Satay is a favorite street food in Thailand. It's simple to make - marinate meat or tempeh, skewer, and grill. Serve with ready-made peanut sauce or make your own peanut sauce from scratch for a more sophisticated taste. Garnish with Thai cucumber salad and raw cabbage. Read more about satay in our Thai cooking tips section.

Satay Sauce Ingredients

• 1/4 cup red curry paste
• 2 cups coconut milk
• 1/2 cup coarsely ground roast peanut
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/4 cup tamarind juice/water

Preparing the Satay Sauce:
Mix the roasted peanut with the curry paste. Heat 1 cup of coconut milk over medium heat until oil surfaces, add the curry paste mixture and stir well. Add the remaining coconut milk, stir again, then reduce the heat. Stir constantly to prevent from sticking. Season to taste with sugar, tamarind juice and salt.

When the sauce thickens, remove and leave to cool. Stir lightly and turn out onto a sauce dish.

• 500 grams pork (moo) loin (about 1 lb.)
• 1/2 cup coconut cream (see how to make coconut cream)
• 1 tsp. finely chopped fresh galangal
• 1 tbsp. finely chopped fresh lemon grass
• 1 tsp. finely sliced fresh turmeric (or substitute 1/2 tsp. turmeric powder)

• 2 tsp. ground roasted cumin seeds (see how to dry roast)
• 2 tsp. ground pepper
• 1 1/2 tsp. salt (sea salt is preferable)

Preparing the Satay:
Wash the pork, cut into thin slices about 1" wide and 3" long. Pound galangal, lemon grass and turmeric finely. Toss with the pork.
