Grilled Pork Skewers Recipe

Pound (or whiz) together sliced lemongrass, garlic, coriander root, and green onions until a paste forms using a mortar and pestle (or a food processor).

Mix together lemongrass mixture and ground pork in a large bowl. Add sugar, fish sauce, and black pepper.

Divide mixture into 8 portions; form each into a ball using your hands. (Moisten your hands to prevent meat from sticking.)

Insert a lemongrass stalk halfway into each meatball. Mold meat around lemongrass stalk to form logs. Brush with oil.

Preheat a charcoal grill or grill pan. Grill skewers for 4 minutes on each side or until cooked through. Serve with sweet chili sauce.
