Recipe By Khanh Ong

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp caster sugar

  • 1 lemongrass stalk

  • 2 cloves of garlic

  • 6 spring onions white part

  • 1 tbsp honey

  • 2 tbsp of kecap manis

  • 1 shallot

  • 1 tsp sesame oil

  • 1 tsp ground black pepper

  • a pinch of salt

  • 500g pork neck sliced to 1cm thick

  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil

to serve

  • 2 lebanese cucumbers

  • vietnamese mint

  • mint

  • coriander

  • crushed peanuts

  • fresh chili

  • banana leaf

Method

  • Place everything besides the pork and veg oil into a blender and blitz until a chunky paste forms. Pour the paste over your pork and leave to marinate for an hour. Pop onto short skewers,

  • On a griddle pan on high pour in ¼ of vegetable oil until hot then place ¼ of the marinated pork on it to cook for 2 minutes then flip and cook for a further 90 seconds. You want the pork to be beautifully caramelised and charred. (do this on a coal BBQ if you have one, if you don’t I usually hit the pork with a blowtorch just to get the smokiness up) Repeat with the remaining oil and pork, set aside.
