Moo Satay (หมูสะเต๊ะ)

Moo Satay is Thai pork satay — thin slices of marinated pork grilled over charcoal on bamboo skewers and served with a rich peanut sauce and fresh cucumber relish.

Cultural Origin

Moo Satay is Thailand's version of skewered grilled pork in turmeric marinade, served with peanut sauce and ajat cucumber relish, adapted from the Malay-Indonesian satay tradition that reached the southern Thai peninsula centuries ago. It is now a staple of Bangkok hotel buffets, night markets, and Thai-Muslim eateries alike.
