    Ingredients

    • Bamboo skewers *
    • 1 ½ lb pork collar butt
    • 5 cloves garlic
    • 3 cilantro roots or 2 Tbsp chopped cilantro stems
    • 2 Tbsp oyster sauce
    • 2 Tbsp soy sauce
    • 2 Tbsp black soy sauce
    • 3 Tbsp  (35g) palm sugar
    • 1 Tbsp oil
    • ¼ cup coconut milk
    • 3 Tbsp water
    • ¼ tsp white peppercorns

    Ingredients & Kitchen Tools I Use


    Instructions

    For the marinade: Pound garlic, cilantro roots, peppercorns in a mortar until fine. Add palm sugar and pound until dissolved. Add all remaining marinade ingredients, except cornstarch, and stir to mix.

    Cut pork into thin, bit-sized pieces, about 3mm thick. If you see any silver skin on the pork, remove it. Pour the marinade over the pork and mix well. Let marinate overnight (8 hours) or at least 3 hours if you're in a rush.

    Sprinkle cornstarch over the marinated pork and mix well. Skewer the pork, and lay them flat on a tray. Pack them neatly on top of each other and it'll help shape the skewers. If possible, let the pork sit in the fridge on the skewers for at least a few more hours before grilling to set the shape of the skewers.

    Grill over medium to medium high heat, 1.5 - 2 minutes per side. Serve with sticky rice.

      Wondering what other cut of pork can be used for this recipe. Don't know if I've ever seen anything called pork collar but. Pork butt or pork shoulder yes... but it is the collar part that throws me off. How about loin, or is that too lean?

        Collar butt is a part of the butt. So you can just use regular pork butt/shoulder and it'll still be fine 🙂

      Soo good! I love this recipe so much! Grilling over charcoal gives a really beautiful BBQ flavour. Seriously delicious and worth the effort. This will always be my go-to recipe. I add a small 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda to ensure the pork is tender. Chefs kiss!

      Such a great recipe for grilled pork. Instead of skewers, I cut my pork into strips. It’s like a boneless skewer!

      I will definitely be making this again. The dipping sauce really brings out the flavor.

        I would try putting them under the broiler on high, and flipping them after they are browned. They would take about the same time as the grill.

      I don't have a grill. Can we do it in the air fryer? 5 mins?

      I love all your recipes. Especially the pork stew ❤️❤️

      My kids loooooved moo ping in Thailand. We were so excited to re-create this street food at home! I used regular pork butt and let it marinade overnight. Put them on the skewers in the morning and my husband grilled them for dinner. We ate with sticky rice, pad woon sen, and some veggies. Yum!

      The best moo ping recipe that I got!
      Very yummy - you can't stop to eat it.
      This will bring you a piece of Thailand home.
      Pai's moo ping taste like they do on the street markets in Thailand.
