Moo Ping (Thai Pork Skewers)

written by The Recipe Exchange | January 10, 2026

Ingredients

5 cloves garlic
2 coriander root
1.2 lb pork, thinly sliced, see notes
1/4 cup coconut milk
2 tbsp oyster sauce
1 1/2 tbsp light soy sauce
1/2 tbsp dark soy sauce
2 1/2 tbsp palm sugar
1 tsp white pepper
1 tbsp tapioca starch

Directions

Pound garlic and coriander root using a mortar and pestle until fine.

In a large bowl, mix coconut milk, palm sugar, oyster sauce, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, tapioca starch, and white pepper. Stir until the sugar dissolves.

Add thinly sliced pork to the bowl and toss to coat each piece well. Cover and refrigerate overnight for the best flavor.

Soak bamboo skewers in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent burning. Thread the marinated pork onto the soaked skewers.

Lightly oil your grill or grill pan. Cook the skewers over medium heat for about 2–3 minutes per side, brushing with extra marinade as needed. Grill until the pork is fully cooked and slightly charred. Serve hot with sticky rice!
