How to Make Asian Lemon Grass Pork
- Slice 1 lb pork tenderloin thinly into 2-inch long strips and place in a large bowl.
- Combine 2 stalks lemongrass (finely minced), 4 cloves garlic (minced), 3 shallots (minced), 2 tablespoons fish sauce, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, and 1 teaspoon sesame oil in a food processor.
- Add 1-2 tablespoons of water to the food processor as needed to achieve a smooth paste.
- Pour the marinade over the pork strips, ensuring all pieces are coated.
- Set aside for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for maximum flavor.
- Soak 12-15 wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
- Thread the marinated pork onto the skewers, leaving about 2 inches unthreaded at each end for easier handling.
- Grill or broil the skewers for 1-2 minutes per side, or until the pork is cooked through and slightly charred. Basting with extra marinade during cooking is recommended.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
