Charcoal Grilled Pork Satay (Singapore Style)

We had some Malaysian friends over for dinner and we cooked this Singapore styled satay as one of the dishes.  They thoroughly enjoyed it, especially the dipping sauce which they walloped every bit of it.


Ingredients
1 lb pork shoulder (cut into 2 cm cubes)
1/4 cup coconut milk
bamboo skewers - soaked in water for 30 minutes or more.

3 cloves garlic - chopped
6 shallots - chopped

Seasonings B
1 tsp coriander seed
1 tsp fennel seed
1 tsp cumin seed
1/2 tsp white peppercorn

Mixture to baste satay

Method

  2. Remove marinade from pork and thread the pork pieces onto the skewers
  3. Heat up charcoal grill and cook the satay over the hot coals, fanning them occasionally.
