This is a juicy dish and really easy to prepare. I have made these for years and they're still a huge favorite with family and friends. I serve them with mushroom rice and garlic bread. This is a sauceless recipe but the meat is so succulent you don't need it.

10.13.16 Can t tell you exactly what it is but I thought the sauce was lacking something. I did add more low-sodium soy sauce but I m thinking maybe more peanut butter as that flavor is totally missing. Didn t add the veggies on the skewers based on the side dishes I was serving with it but otherwise followed the recipe. It was good but I had high hopes for this and was just a little bit of a let down. Read More

I made this as written and it was okay, but I don't think I'd make it again. It tasted a little flat, like something was missing for a pop of flavor. Read More

Tried this recipe for supper tonight. Per another reviewer's suggestion I doubled the amount of peanut butter (Kirkland brand: only peanuts). I also added a teaspoon of sesame oil. Not a fan of zucchini so used only red pepper onion and mushrooms for veggies. Hubby BBQ'd the kebabs. We enjoyed them with a nice bottle of Niagara riesling gewurztraminer. Will definitely make these again. Read More

I didn't have the skewers so instead i made it in a frying pan and served it over rice. My whole family thoroughly enjoyed it. Read More

Great pork tenderloin! Didn't have enough soy sauce so used 1/3 of Worcester sauce. It made it awesome! Read More

Goood starter recipe! I added 1tbl spoon gochujang sesame oil and added more ginger and garlic. The hole thing marinated overnight and got grilled on the grill. I suggest taking the remainder marinade and add to meat after rotating it on the grill. Delicious! Read More

I used roasted peanut oil and doubled the peanut butter to up the peanut flavor factor as well as give the marinade more body. We marinaded cubed chicken in this for 1 hour the first night and 8 hours the second and basted the kabobs while they were on the grill. Nice balance of flavors but not as bold as I would have prefered. Read More

I made this as an appetizer for Super Bowl and everyone raved about it! I did swap out MCT Oil for the vegetable oil and I didn't use any of the veggies. Cut chunks a little small, about 1" and cut about 10 min off the cook time. They were so easy. I will definitely make these again! Read More
