Ingredients

2 lb well marbled pork shoulder
6 cloves garlic
2 tbsp cilantro stems
1/2 tsp ground white pepper
3 tbsp palm sugar or light brown sugar
2 tbsp oyster sauce
2 tbsp fish sauce
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp cornstarch
2 tbsp fish sauce
2 tsp palm sugar or brown sugar
1 tsp red chili flakes
2 tbsp cilantro leaves
1 small shallot

1 tbsp water (optional)
1/2 tbsp toasted rice powder (optional)
1/2 cup tinned coconut milk (optional)

Steps

Slice the pork shoulder into thin strips against the grain.
Pound the garlic and cilantro stems with the white pepper, then mix in 2 tablespoons fish sauce, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 3 tablespoons sugar, and the cornstarch.
Toss the pork with the marinade, cover it, and refrigerate for 8 hours.
Thread the pork onto the soaked bamboo skewers and grill over medium-high heat for 10 to 12 minutes, turning often, until it reaches 145 F.
Stir the remaining fish sauce, sugar, chili flakes, cilantro leaves, shallot, lime juice, water, rice powder, and coconut milk into a dipping sauce.
Rest the skewers for 3 minutes before serving with the sauce.
