How to prepare Grilled skewered meat
After buying bamboo skewers, rinse them and then boil them in boiling water to remove some bacteria.
Clean the meat, drain it, and then cut it into medium-sized slices.
Next, put the meat in a bowl, marinate the meat with 50ml of fish sauce, 3 tablespoons of oyster sauce, 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, 3 tablespoons of sugar.
Add 1 onion, 1 garlic clove, 1 lemongrass stem, minced, 1 teaspoon of ground pepper, 2 tablespoons of sesame oil, 1 teaspoon of white sesame seeds (optional) mix well and let the meat soak in the spices for 2 – 3 hours.
Next, you arrange the meat crumbs and small strips of meat rolled into the inside of the bamboo skewer. Larger pieces of meat are rolled on the outside of the skewer. After rolling, use your hand to squeeze evenly to make the meat skewer round.
Note: You should not make the skewers too thick and wrap them too tightly because it will take time to grill and the outside may burn while the inside is still raw.
Grilling meat on a charcoal grill is the best. If not, you can grill with an oven at a temperature of 200 degrees C for 30 – 35 minutes. During grilling, you need to flip the skewer to evenly cook the meat.
After grilling, the meat is tender, with a mixture of lean and fat, not dry or greasy, and has a delicious savory taste. This is thanks to the onions, garlic, lemongrass, and especially the aroma of lemongrass and sesame seeds.
