20160529_184218This awesome recipe showed up in my inbox this week, just as I was putting away a couple Hormel Pork Tenderloins (Safeway had them on $5 Friday and I had $1 off coupons!). This required buying some non-staples, as coconut milk, fish sauce, and Sriracha aren’t usually in my pantry, but the results are well worth it. Here’s the original.

I followed the recipe pretty exactly, with small substitutions like garlic powder for fresh garlic and Louisiana hot sauce for Sriracha. If you use wooden skewers like we did, be sure to soak them in water first. I got 10 kebobs out of this, which was five servings in my house. They were tasty, tender, and really easy!
