Pork Kabobs with Onion Cakes and Peanut Sauce
Ingredients
  • 1
    pound pork tenderloin, cut into 1/2-inch slices
  • 3
    teaspoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 2
    teaspoons Thai seasoning
  • 1
    bunch green onions (7 or 8), chopped
  • 1/2
    cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2
    teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2
    cup water
  • 1
    egg, lightly beaten
  • 2
    teaspoons vegetable oil

    cup peanut butter

    tablespoon honey

Directions

1. Preheat broiler. Thread pork onto eight skewers; brush with 1 teaspoon of the soy sauce and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of the Thai seasoning. Broil 3 to 4 inches from the heat for 8 minutes, turning once halfway through cooking.

2. For cakes, combine onions, flour, baking powder, the 1/2 cup water, the egg, and the remaining Thai seasoning. In a 12-inch skillet heat oil over medium-high. Spread batter in skillet; cook for 10 to 12 minutes, turning once. Cut into wedges.

3. For sauce, in a microwave-safe bowl combine peanut butter, honey, the remaining soy sauce, and the 1/3 cup water. Cook on 100 percent power (high) for 30 seconds. Whisk; cook for 15 seconds more. Serve kabobs with cakes, sauce, and shredded carrot. If desired, serve with cilantro and lime wedges.

This is super yummy! I could not find Thai seasoning, so I bought McCormick's 'Far East Ginger & Sesame Blend.' I'm going to toss is some cilantro into the onion cake batter!

If you have a Cost Plus World Market near you, They have Thai Seasoning.

I had to ordere the Thai Blend online from American Spice Company. I made both pork and chicken skewers - three stars. The onion cakes were a little chewy but tasty, esp. when dipped in lots of spicy peanut sauce. I did go rogue and made a peanut sauce with the preferred elements from this recipe and another (red pepper flakes, a little sesame oil, etc.) My friend ate the leftover peanut sauce on spaghetti the next day (like the peanut noodle stuff you get at Chinese restaurants!)

McCormicks has discontinued their Thai Seasoning Blend and Penzeys, shockingly, doesn't have a Thai blend.

This is a very good recipe, but I did change a few things. I added more soy sauce and Thai spice so that I could marinade the pork strips in it instead of sprinkling it on the pork. For the dipping sauce I reduced the amount of honey in it because it made it way too sweet & I added some chilis to it to give it a bit of a kick. I didn't have any spring onions for the onion cake so I substituted with red onions and chives - this worked well. We will def. have this again soon.
