Ingredients
Serves 3–4. Adjust quantities as needed.
- 700 g (1.5 lb) pork neck or pork shoulder, sliced 1/4–1/2 inch thick
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons light soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon palm sugar or brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon ground white pepper
- 1 tablespoon lime or tamarind juice (optional, for tangy marinade)
- 1 small shallot, finely sliced (for garnish)
- Fresh cilantro and sliced cucumber, for serving
- For the jaew (dipping sauce):
- 2 tablespoons toasted rice powder (khao khua) — see tip if unavailable
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1–2 teaspoons palm sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1–2 fresh Thai chilies, finely chopped (or 1/2–1 tsp chili flakes)
- 1 small shallot, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro and green onion
- Pinch of roasted chili powder (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the pork: Trim excess fat if desired and slice the pork into even pieces about 1/4–1/2 inch thick so they cook evenly.
- Make the marinade: In a bowl combine minced garlic, soy sauce, fish sauce, palm sugar, vegetable oil, ground white pepper, and lime or tamarind juice if using. Stir until sugar dissolves.
- Marinate: Add the pork to the marinade, tossing to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, ideally overnight for deeper flavor.
- Prepare the jaew sauce: In a small bowl combine toasted rice powder, fish sauce, lime juice, palm sugar, chopped chilies, chopped shallot, cilantro, and green onion. Taste and adjust balance—jaew should be spicy, sour, salty, and slightly sweet.
- Preheat grill or pan: If grilling, preheat to medium-high. If using a grill pan or skillet, add a little oil and heat until hot but not smoking.
- Grill the pork: Place pork slices on the grill or pan in a single layer. Cook about 3–5 minutes per side depending on thickness until nicely charred and internal temperature reaches 63°C (145°F). Avoid overcrowding; work in batches if needed.
- Rest the meat: Transfer cooked pork to a plate and let rest for 3–5 minutes to retain juices.
- Serve: Slice or serve whole with a bowl of jaew sauce for dipping. Garnish with sliced shallot, cilantro, and cucumber on the side. Enjoy หมูย่างจิ้มแจ่วสูตรพิเศษ hot off the grill.
Cooking Tips for หมูย่างจิ้มแจ่วสูตรพิเศษ
These tips help beginners get the best results when making หมูย่างจิ้มแจ่วสูตรพิเศษ:
- Best cut: Pork neck (or collar) is ideal for juiciness and flavor; shoulder also works well. Avoid very lean cuts which can dry out.
- Marinate longer: For deeper caramelization and flavor, marinate overnight. If short on time, at least 2 hours.
- Toasted rice powder: If you don’t have khao khua, toast uncooked glutinous rice in a dry pan until golden, then grind to a coarse powder.
- Control heat: Use medium-high heat to get char marks while keeping the inside moist. Reduce heat if the outside chars too quickly.
- Oven or broiler alternative: Arrange marinated pork on a foil-lined tray and broil 4–6 inches from the heat for 4–6 minutes per side, watching closely.
- Adjust jaew spiciness: Add fresh chilies for heat or reduce for milder preference. Lime and fish sauce balance is key—taste and tweak.
- Make ahead: Jaew can be made a few hours ahead and stored refrigerated. Rewarm grilled pork briefly if needed, but jaew is best cool or room temperature.
