  5. In a shallow dish, soak twelve 12” wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes. Reserving marinade, thread 2 or 3 pieces of pork onto each skewer, leaving 1” between pieces.
  6. Place on a greased grill over medium high heat or under broiler, cook, brushing with marinade and turning once, for 3 to 4 minutes or until browned and just a hint of pink remains inside. Serve with peanut sauce.
RECIPE BACKSTORY
We had a Chinese restaurant here that was a buffet place. They always had chicken or pork satay on the buffet so I searched to find a recipe.
