When the weather warms up, these can be grilled, as they do at Spice Market. Look for the skewers in the kitchenware aisle.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes 6 small plates

Ingredients

1/3 cup minced shallots
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons oyster sauce*
2 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted
2 tablespoons minced lemongrass**
1 tablespoon fish sauce (such as nam pla or nuoc nam)*
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 1 1/2-pound pork tenderloin, cut crosswise into 3-inch-long pieces
6 11-inch-long metal skewers

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Mix first 8 ingredients in medium bowl. Season sauce to taste with pepper. Place 1 pork piece on work surface. Press slightly to flatten. Using sharp knife, cut lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Repeat with remaining pork, forming 30 pork scallops (reserve any remaining pork for another use). Thread 5 scallops onto each of six 11-inch-long metal skewers. Arrange skewers on rimmed baking sheet. Transfer 1/3 cup sauce to small bowl; reserve. Brush remaining sauce over both sides of pork. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover pork and reserved sauce separately; chill.)

    Step 2

    Preheat broiler. Broil pork until cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Brush pork with reserved sauce. Serve satay with vegetable pickles.
