PORK SATAY WITH THAI SPICES AND PEANUT SAUCE
Throughout Southeast Asia, little skewers of marinated meat, grilled over coals, are sold as street snacks. Sweetly fragrant with coconut milk and spices, they are perfect for barbecue parties served with steamed rice, or on their own with drinks, whether grilled indoors or out. You may use pork loin or tenderloin, but marbled sirloin or shoulder is more succulent.

Steps:
- Prepare the skewers: Put pork in a mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, stir together shallot, garlic, ginger, lemongrass, cumin, coriander, turmeric, cayenne, fish sauce, lime juice, soy sauce, brown sugar and coconut milk, and pour over meat. Toss with your hands to coat well. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes or overnight. Meanwhile, soak 12 bamboo skewers in water.
- Prepare the cucumbers: Put cucumbers in a mixing bowl and season with salt. Add lime juice, sugar, shallots and chiles and toss to coat. Let stand for 15 minutes. Check seasoning, then transfer to a serving dish.
- Prepare the peanut sauce: Pulse the peanuts briefly in a food processor just until finely ground. Add the garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, fish sauce, lime juice, cayenne and coconut milk, and process until well puréed. Transfer to a bowl, then taste and adjust seasoning. Thin a bit with lime juice or water as desired.
- Thread 2 slices of pork onto each bamboo skewer, keeping the meat as flat as possible. Grill over hot coals, under the broiler or on a stovetop grill pan for 3 minutes on each side, until cooked through and lightly browned. Transfer to a platter and garnish with cilantro and basil leaves. Serve with cucumber relish and peanut sauce.

PENANG PORK SATAY
I'm not exactly sure how much pork satay they eat in Penang, but I'm confident that your average pork-loving Malaysian would enjoy this explosive combination of flavors. Use a fairly large chunk of pork, because it doesn't take long to develop that beautifully brown, crusty exterior on the grill. Or in a broiler turned to high. Or in the oven at 500 degrees! Serve over rice with peanut sauce and cucumber salad.

PORK SATAY WITH PEANUT LIME DIPPING SAUCE
This is incredibly easy to make and a delicious addition to any Asian-themed meal! I got this recipe from my Dad; I think he got it from a LCBO magazine about 10 years ago. The preparation time includes marinating time. The peanut lime dipping sauce can be made up to 3 days ahead, but grill the satays just before serving. You can also substitute beef, chicken or shrimp, for the pork, with equally delicious results!

SPICY INDONESIAN PORK SATAY (OR CHICKEN)
One teaspoon of dried red pepper flakes with give you a mild heat flavor for more spice then increase the pepper flakes. Plan ahead the pork needs to marinade 8-24 hours. Make certain to soak the wooden skewers a minimum of 30 minutes before threading and grilling. Serve with favorite dipping sauce or you can use whatever leftover marinade that you have after basting the satay as a dipping sauce if desired. Make certain to use only low-sodium soy sauce for this recipe, also if you are using peanuts in place of peanut butter they must be unsalted. The recipe may be doubled but divided into two separate recipes and the pork marinated in two separate bowls. This will work well on on an indoor grill or oven broiler heat.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of pork: For satay, it's best to use a tender cut of pork that will cook quickly and evenly. Some good options include pork tenderloin, pork loin, or pork shoulder.
- Marinate the pork: Marinating the pork in a flavorful mixture of spices and aromatics will help to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor. Be sure to marinate the pork for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight for best results.
- Cook the pork over high heat: Satay is traditionally cooked over a charcoal grill, but you can also cook it in a grill pan or on a stovetop grill. Be sure to cook the pork over high heat so that it gets a nice sear and cooks evenly.
- Don't overcook the pork: Pork satay is best when it is cooked to medium-rare or medium, so don't overcook it. Otherwise, the meat will become tough and dry.
- Serve the pork satay with a flavorful dipping sauce: Satay is traditionally served with a peanut sauce, but there are many other delicious dipping sauces that you can use. Some good options include hoisin sauce, soy sauce, or sweet and sour sauce.
Conclusion:
Pork satay is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its tender, flavorful meat and delicious dipping sauce, pork satay is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give pork satay a try!
