And I, of course, am representing Thailand with these quick and easy Pork Satay commonly served as street food and eaten right of the stick.  My Angel Face thought they were perfect.

The sauce used for these Satays are a mash up of different cultures, just like the Summer Olympic Games for which we are eagerly awaiting. This is my first recipe for the week and I was happy to share a recipe that combines many culture....Hoisin from China, Chili Garlic Sauce from Thailand and Rice Vinegar from Japan.  Countries united to represent at the Summer Games and to create the flavors that make up this wonderful recipe.

I paired this Asian dinner with a Gewurtztraminer wine from Alsace, France which borders Germany.  Both of these countries will also be participating in the Summer Games.  I am happy to start the week off with so many different countries that meld together to make the perfect, harmonious combination.

Now we just need to pray that the pandemic remains controlled throughout the competition and accept that these games will be different from those that we have enjoyed in the past while being thankful that we can once again gather together for the games.

Yield: 4 servings

Prep time: 10 MinCook time: 15 MinTotal time: 25 Min

Strips of tender pork tossed in a spicy sauce and threaded onto skewers before being grilled to perfections. These Satays are a classic Thai street food.

Ingredients

• 8 pz. hoisin sauce
• 1/3 c. chili garlic sauce
• 1/4 c. honey
• 1/4 c. seasoned rice vinegar
• 2 T . sesame oil
• pinch of salt
• 1 (1-2 lb.) pork tenderloin

Instructions

1. Plaace the hoisin, chili garlic sauce, honey, vinegar, sesame oil and salt into a small saucepan over medium heat.  Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes.  Remove from heat and let cool.
2. Trim any fat and silverskin from the pork tenderloin and cut into 3 long strips, dividing equally.  Cut these 3 strips in half crosswise making 6 strips.  Cut each of the 6 strips in half lengthwise creating 12 strips.  
3. Place these 12 strips into the hoisin sauce tossing to coat.  Thread each strip onto a skewer and place onto a grill that has been preheated to medium high, leave the handles off the heat, for about 4 minutes, flip and cook the other side for 3-4 minutes, until grill marks are present and the pork is cooked through.
