Description
These Vietnamese-style pork skewers are bursting with flavor! Marinated in a vibrant blend of lemongrass, chili, and fish sauce, the pork becomes incredibly tender and fragrant. I've been making these for years, and they're always a hit at barbecues. The dipping sauce, with its balance of sweet, sour, and spicy notes, elevates the dish to another level. Perfect for a summer gathering or a casual weeknight meal. The marinade time is crucial for maximum flavor, so plan accordingly! These are best served fresh off the grill.
