Thai Moo Ping Skewers
Delicious fingerfood like in Bangkok
As I knew that a sate grill would be available at our Thai food cooking event, I decided to grill Thai “Moo Ping” skewers on it. These skewers with marinated pork are offered at many street stalls in Thailand.
The skewers turned out so good that their aroma and taste immediately reminded us of Bangkok. So I would like to share the recipe with you here. Of course, you can also prepare the skewers on another grill, although they may need to stay on the grill a little longer.
I also have a simple “Nam Jim Tao Jiaw” (
