- If you are using wooden skewers, soak them in a bowl of cold water for 30 minutes before using.
- In the bowl of a food processor, pulse the coriander, chilli, garlic, soy sauce, fish sauce, ginger, peanut butter, lime zest and lime juice. Add the water and whizz into a smooth paste. Spoon about half of the paste into a bowl and set aside for serving.
- Thread the pieces of pork onto 12 skewers. Place the remaining paste from the food processor into a shallow bowl and coat the pork with it, using your hands to rub the paste into the meat. Allow the pork to marinate for 30-60 minutes.
- Turn the grill on to a high heat.
- Place the skewers on a baking tray and cook under the grill for 8-10 minutes per side until golden and completely cooked.
- Serve with cucumber salad, the reserved peanut butter sauce and some extra lime wedges for squeezing over.
Note: coconut milk can be used as an alternative to water, if you wish.
