👨🍳 Instruções
- 1
Prepare the marinade: In a medium bowl, combine the ground turmeric, minced lemongrass, 100ml coconut milk, 2 tbsp fish sauce, 1 tbsp brown sugar, minced garlic, and chopped cilantro roots (if using). Whisk until well combined.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 2
Marinate the pork: Add the thinly sliced pork tenderloin to the marinade. Ensure each slice is well-coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the pork to tenderize.
⏱️ 4+ hours (marinating) - 3
Assemble the skewers: Remove the pork from the refrigerator. Thread the marinated pork slices onto the soaked wooden skewers, folding each slice in half or thirds to create a compact skewer. Aim for about 4-5 pieces of pork per skewer.
⏱️ 15 minutes - 4
Preheat the grill: Prepare your grill for medium-high heat. If using charcoal, aim for hot embers. If using a gas grill, preheat to approximately 200-230°C (400-450°F). Clean and lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
⏱️ 10 minutes - 5
Grill the satay: Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for approximately 5-7 minutes per side, or until the pork is cooked through and has developed nice char marks. Baste with any remaining marinade (if safe to do so, or a little extra coconut milk/oil) during the last few minutes of cooking.
⏱️ 10-15 minutes - 6
Serve: Remove the Moo Satay from the grill. Arrange the skewers on a serving platter. Serve immediately with warm peanut sauce for dipping and a side of ajat (cucumber relish) to cut through the richness.

💡 Dicas Profissionais
- ✓For the best flavor, marinate the pork overnight.
- ✓Soaking the wooden skewers is crucial to prevent them from burning on the grill.
- ✓Grilling over charcoal imparts a superior smoky flavor, but a gas grill or even a grill pan will work.
- ✓Don't overcrowd the grill; cook in batches if necessary to ensure even cooking and good searing.
- ✓Ajat is a simple Thai relish made with thinly sliced cucumber, shallots, chili, and a sweet-sour vinegar dressing. It provides a refreshing contrast to the rich satay.
