A recipe from southern Thailand

Cut the meat into slices about ½ cm thick and 5-7 cm long. Flatten the slices with a meat tenderizer until they are thin and long, making them easy to thread onto skewers. Mix the other ingredients well and marinate the meat for a few hours. Then grill over hot charcoal. You can also cut the meat into large pieces, ideally overnight, and then cook them in the marinade on the stovetop or in the oven. It’s best to grill all the skewers first and then reheat them briefly before eating—that’s what we do here.
