Yields:: 10 skewers

ingredients

1 lb pork tenderloin, trimmed of external fat
¹⁄₂ cup soy sauce
¹⁄₂ cup water
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 tablespoon peanut butter or 1 tablespoon sesame tahini
1 teaspoon peeled and minced fresh ginger
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed limes or 1 tablespoon lemon juice

directions

Slice the pork as thinly as you can (it's easier if you freeze it for 15 to 20 minutes first).
Cut the slices into pieces, about 1 1/2 inches is diameter.
Mix together the remaining ingredients and stir the pork into them. Let sit for a few hours or overnight, refrigerated.
Thread the pork onto skewers without crowding, reserving the marinade.
Grill or broil until browned all over, a total of 5 to 8 minutes.
While the meat is cooking, bring the marinade to a boil and reduce it slightly. Use as a dipping sauce.

Delicious! All diners loved this. Only advice I would offer is not to start boiling your marinade too early....you'll end up with nothing. ....because of the pork, I wanted to make sure it was cooked! Thanks for sharing a delicious recipe.

These are soooooooooooooooooooooo good, TRUE! I also used tahini too! Topped them with toasted sesame seeds as had on hand today!, WOW! What a healthy, nutritious, low carb recipe that MADE MY DAY! THANKS!

These were a HUGE hit with everyone! Had to use the peanut butter, I think I would like the tahini even better. I only marinated for a few hours and they were still very tasty. I served them with fried rice and grilled asparagus...and Singapore Slings! LOL Made for ZWT6. Thanks susie.

Really delicious and very flavourful. I had the pork marinating for about 8 hours before I grilled and the meat was very tender and juicy and flavourful. Used tahini, but I think we would also like it with peanut butter. Lovely balance and contrast of flavours, so that you get little 'bursts' in your mouth with every bite.
