Serves 4-6
| ¼ c. low-sodium soy sauce | ¼ c. oyster sauce | |
| 3 tbsp cilantro leaves & stems, finely chopped | 2 tbsp garlic, finely chopped | |
| 2 tbsp sugar | 1 tsp black pepper, freshly ground | |
| 1 ½ lb. pork tenderloin, cut into 16 pieces | 16 (6″) wooden skewers |
Chile Sauce
| ½ c. fresh lime juice | ¼ c. fish sauce | |
| 1 tbsp soy sauce | 1 fresh Thai red chilie, finely diced | |
| 2 tsp sugar | 1 shallot, finely diced |
1. Soak the skewers in cold water for 30 minutes prior to use.
2. Whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, cilantro, garlic, sugar, & black pepper in a bowl.
3. Skewer 2 pieces of pork onto 2 skewers so that the meat lies flat. Place the pork skewers in a large baking dish. Pour the marinade over & turn to coat the pork.
4. Cover & refrigerate for at least 1 hour & up to 4 hours.
5. Heat grill to high. Remove the skewers from the marinade & grill the meat on both sides until slightly charred & cooked through, about 3 minutes per side.
6. Serve with chili sauce on the side for dipping.
7. To make the chili sauce, combine all ingredients in a small bowl. Cover & let sit at room temperature for at least 1 hour before serving.
