The Method
Pound the garlic, cilantro root, and white peppercorns to a rough paste in a mortar.5 min
Mix the paste with coconut milk, oyster sauce, fish sauce, and palm sugar, then toss the sliced pork through it. Marinate at least two hours or overnight.10 min
Thread the pork onto soaked bamboo skewers, folding each slice back and forth so it sits flat.10 min
Grill over medium coals, turning often, and baste with reserved coconut cream so the edges caramelize.12 min
Pull when charred at the edges but still juicy, and serve hot with sticky rice.1 min
Yes — this is exactly what an air fryer does well. Work in a single layer so the air can move, and shake or flip halfway for even crisping. It runs a touch faster than the oven, so check early.
