Moo Yang Muang Trang (หมูย่างเมืองตรัง)

 


Moo Yang Muang Trang (
หมูย่างเมืองตรัง
) is a traditional Thai dish originating from the Muang Trang district in Southern Thailand. It features grilled or barbecued pork marinated in a flavorful mixture. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to cook Moo Yang Muang Trang:

Ingredients:

  • 500 grams pork shoulder or pork loin, thinly sliced or pounded

  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce

  • 3 tablespoons oyster sauce

  • 2 tablespoons fish sauce

  • 2 tablespoons sugar

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 teaspoon ground white pepper

  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

  • Thai sweet chili sauce or Nam Jim Jaew (dipping sauce), for serving

  • Fresh coriander leaves for garnish

Instructions:

  1. In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce, sugar, vegetable oil, minced garlic, ground white pepper, and sesame oil. Stir well to create the marinade.

  2. Place the thinly sliced or pounded pork in a shallow dish or zip-lock bag. Pour the marinade over the pork, ensuring all pieces are coated evenly. Massage the marinade into the meat. Let it marinate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight in the refrigerator, to allow the flavors to penetrate the pork.

  3. Preheat your grill or barbecue to medium-high heat.

  4. Remove the marinated pork from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for about 15-20 minutes.

  5. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Place the pork slices on the grill, ensuring they are spread out and not overcrowded.

  6. Grill the pork slices for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through and have grill marks. The cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the slices, so monitor them closely to avoid overcooking.

  7. Once the pork is grilled to perfection, transfer it to a serving platter.

  8. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves for added freshness and aroma.

  9. Serve Moo Yang Muang Trang hot with Thai sweet chili sauce or Nam Jim Jaew (a spicy dipping sauce) on the side.

  10. Enjoy the succulent and flavorful Moo Yang Muang Trang as a main dish with steamed rice and your favorite side dishes.

Note: If you don't have access to a grill or barbecue, you can also cook the marinated pork slices in a skillet or grill pan on the stovetop.

Enjoy the delicious and savory flavors of Moo Yang Muang Trang!
