12 oz pork tenderloin or chicken
1 T oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 T minced fresh coriander
1 t turmeric
1/2 t sugar
1/4 t salt
Pinch cayenne pepper
Peanut Plum Sauce:
3 T plum sauce
3 T chunky peanut butter
4 t lime juice
1-1/2 t fish sauce
1/2 t each grated gingerroot and Asian chili paste or hot pepper sauce
In large shallow dish, soak 15 wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes. Meanwhile, cut pork across the grain into 1/4-inch (5 mm) thick slices. In glass bowl, mix together pork, oil, garlic, coriander, turmeric, sugar, salt and cayenne; cover and let stand for 30 minutes.
Peanut Plum Sauce: Meanwhile, in small bowl, whisk together plum sauce, peanut butter, 1/4 c water, lime juice, fish sauce, ginger and chili paste; set aside. (Make-ahead: Cover and refrigerate pork and sauce separately for up to 24 hours.)
Thread 2 pork slices onto each skewer. Place on greased grill pan over medium-high heat or on rimmed baking sheet under broiler; grill or broil, turning once, until just a hint of pink remains inside, about 6 minutes. Serve with sauce. Makes 6 servings.
