Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, lemongrass, galangal, kaffir lime leaves, shallots, and Thai red chili peppers.
  • Add fish sauce, soy sauce, vegetable oil, and sugar to the bowl. Mix everything thoroughly until well combined.
  • Let the mixture marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
  • Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium heat.
  • Take the soaked bamboo skewers and thread the marinated pork mixture onto them, shaping them into sausages about 6 inches long.
  • Place the skewers on the grill or grill pan and cook for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the sausages are nicely charred and cooked through.
  • Serve the Sai ua hot and enjoy! You can serve it with sticky rice, a side salad, or as a filling for a stir-fry dish.
