Moo Satay

on


 

Moo Satay is a Thai dish that typically consists of grilled or barbecued marinated pork skewers, served with a peanut sauce and a side of cucumber salad. The pork is typically cut into thin slices, marinated in a mixture of spices and seasonings, and then skewered and grilled over high heat until cooked through and slightly charred. The peanut sauce is made from ground peanuts, coconut milk, soy sauce, and spices, and is served alongside the pork skewers for dipping. Cucumber salad, typically made with sliced cucumber, red onion, vinegar, and sugar, provides a refreshing contrast to the rich, savory flavors of the pork and peanut sauce. Moo Satay is a popular street food in Thailand and is enjoyed by locals and tourists alike.
