/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.
