Ingredients

  • 5 ounces pork shoulder
  • 3 tablespoons canola oil
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 2 tablespoons minced lemongrass
  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 2 small shallots, minced
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 small red chili pepper, seeded and minced (optional)

Method

  • Cut pork shoulder into 4 chunks (roughly 1 1/4 ounce each), then pound with a meat pounder into strips 1" wide by 1/4" thick. Put in a bowl and set aside.
  • Combine remaining ingredients in a small food processor. Process until smooth. Pour over pork and cover tightly. Marinate 30-60 minutes at room temperature or 4-6 hours in the refrigerator.
  • While meat marinates, soak skewers in water and prepare a hot grill. Remove meat from marinade and pat dry; thread meat onto skewers with an over-and-under motion. Grill 2-3 minutes on each side until lightly charred but still juicy.
