Ingredients

Kor moo yang sauce

  • 1/2 lime
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 1/2 tablespoon chili flakes
  • 1/2 tablespoon toasted rice powder, see notes

Instructions

  • Crush the spice mix (garlic, coriander seeds, and coriander root) with a granite mortar and pestle.
    3 cloves garlic, 1/2 teaspoon coriander seeds, 2 coriander root
  • Add palm sugar, golden mountain sauce, oyster sauce, and fresh milk, and stir everything into one sauce.
    1/2 tablespoons palm sugar, 1 tablespoon golden mountain sauce, 1 1/2 tablespoon oyster sauce, 3 tablespoons milk
  • Transfer the marinade sauce to a large mixing bowl, add pork, and thoroughly coat it with the marinade. Let it rest for at least 4 hours in the fridge or overnight for the best flavor.
    1.5 lb pork
  • Grill your Thai marinated pork over charcoal until thoroughly and evenly cooked through, with a charred crust and tender meat. The grilling time depends on the thickness of your meat and the heat of the charcoal. Occasionally flip to prevent burning.
  • Let the grilled meat rest for a few minutes to redistribute the juices, and then slice it thinly. Serve immediately with rice and the optional dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Use the nutrition card in this recipe as a guideline.
  • Pork – Pork neck (kor moo) is the traditional choice for this moo yang recipe. Good pork neck substitutes are pork shoulders, butt, collar, or loin – though be careful not to overcook the loin. Pork chops and ribeye also make fantastic options for grilling.
  • Toasted rice powder
