I like to listen to cooking podcasts at work, I was listening to Milk Street Radio the other day and they were describing Moo Ping, and it inspired me to make these, with what I had on hand in my cupboard, and it turned out amazing. I really didn't measure anything, but this is what I basically did. I sliced a 5 pound pork butt as thin as I could and set it a side in a large bowl. Next I made the marinade in a separate bowl with fresh sliced garlic and ginger, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, vegetable oil, sambal, brown sugar, salt, pepper and fresh basil. I just kept tasting and adding, until I had the right balance of hot, sour, salty, and sweet, then added enough water so I could cover all the pork. I poured the marinade over the pork, and put it in the fridge to marinate for 3 hours.
Next I threaded the pork onto bamboo skewers that I soaked in water, I packed them on pretty tight, I got all 5 pounds on 3 large skewers. Then I grilled them slowly on medium low heat, about 300 degrees on my gas grill, covered until nicely browned and a little charred, about 30 minutes. I served it over a bed of baby greens and sliced tomatoes, simply dressed with olive oil, salt and pepper, because my husband is on the Keto diet, and he loved it. Give it a try, you won't be sorry!
