Moo Ping
GrilledPork SticksLiterally translated to“grilled pork,” moo ping is a street food specialty of sticky, garlic-marinatedpork on skewers. Almost always paired with sticky rice, it’s one of the mostperfect foods. Pork butt has the perfect balance of flavor and texture in myopinion, but you can substitute pork loin or tenderloin in this recipe.
