Moo Ping

Moo Ping, also known as Pork Satay, is a popular street food dish in Thailand that is loved for its tender and flavorful pork. To make Moo Ping, pork meat, typically from the tenderloin or pork shoulder, is marinated in a mixture of Thai spices and sauces to enhance its taste. The marinade often includes ingredients such as garlic, cilantro roots, soy sauce, fish sauce, oyster sauce, palm sugar, ground black pepper, and sometimes a touch of coconut milk for added richness.

After marinating for a few hours or overnight, the pork is threaded onto skewers, either bamboo or metal, and grilled over charcoal or an open flame. The grilling process imparts a smoky and slightly charred flavor to the pork while keeping it juicy and tender. The skewers are turned regularly to ensure even cooking and to achieve a desirable caramelized outer layer.

Moo Ping is commonly served with various accompaniments and dipping sauces. Sticky rice, cucumber slices, and fresh vegetables are popular choices to complement the flavors of the grilled pork. Nam Jim Jaew, a spicy and tangy dipping sauce made with chilies, fish sauce, lime juice, and roasted rice powder, is often served alongside to add an extra kick of flavor. This is one of the best street food in Phuket.
