Makes: 4 servings
Prep Time: 1 - 2 hours
Cook Time: 5 - 10 minutes

Ingredients:

1 1/2 lb Pork shoulder (cut in 4x1/2-inch pieces)
4 oz Pork fatback (cut in 1/2-inch pieces)
13 1/2 ounces Unsweetened coconut milk
2 tbsp Fish sauce
2 tbsp Soy sauce (Thai thin)
1 tbsp Sugar
1 tsp Kosher salt
3/4 tsp White pepper (ground)
1/2 tsp Curry powder
1/2 tsp Turmeric (ground)
3/4 cup Sweetened condensed milk

Directions:

Bring coconut milk, fish sauce, soy sauce, sugar, salt, pepper, curry powder, and turmeric to a boil in a medium saucepan, stirring occasionally; reduce heat and simmer until sauce is bubbling and flavors have melded (approximately 10 – 15 minutes).
Transfer to a large bowl; let cool slightly, then stir in condensed milk. Season with salt and pepper as needed. Add pork and toss, massaging meat with your hands. Cover and chill 1 hour.
Prepare grill for medium-high heat. Thread a piece of fatback onto middle of each skewer, then thread on a piece of pork so one end of pork touches fat and other is at pointy end of skewer. Grill, turning occasionally, until lightly charred and cooked through, about 4 minutes.
