Grilled Pork Skewers With Peanut-Basil Sauce - cooking recipe

    3/4 cup coconut milk
    2 tablespoons soy sauce, more to taste
    1 garlic clove, peeled
    1 inch ginger, piece peeled

    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1 lb boneless pork shoulder or 1 lb pork loin

    In a blender, combine all ingredients except pork and process until you have a smooth paste. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed: mixture should be salty, spicy and hot. Set about 1/2 cup of marinade aside to use as dipping sauce.
