What's the best way to achieve that smoky flavor in Moo Yang?

The key to the smoky goodness lies in grilling over charcoal. Let the coals turn gray for optimal results.

Can I use other meats for Moo Yang?

You can, but it won't be "Moo" or pork anymore. While pork neck is the traditional choice, you can experiment with pork shoulder, pork butt, or collar for a different twist.

Is Moo Yang very spicy?

No, not really. However, you can jazz it up to be as spicy as you like! Adjust the amount of white pepper to suit your heat tolerance.

Can I make Moo Yang without a grill?

While the smoky flavor of grilling is traditional, you can also cook Moo Yang in the oven or on a stovetop grill pan.

Instructions

Crush the garlic. Pound the garlic into a smooth paste using a small mortar and pestle.
Make the marinade. Combine the marinade ingredients with the pestle or a small bowl using fish sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, and white pepper. Stir well until the sugar dissolves completely.
Marinate the pork. Coat the pork neck slices generously with the marinade, allowing them to soak up the flavors. Refrigerate for at least an hour.
Prepare the grill. Heat your grill to medium heat. If you have a charcoal grill, use it for your meat's smoky, charred flavors. Place the marinated meat on the grill and use a grilling brush to scoop out all the marinating sauce onto the pieces of pork. Don't waste the goodies!
Grill your pork neck. Grill each side until it's beautifully charred and cooked to perfection. 5-7 minutes per side (depending on your grill). Use a meat thermometer to make sure the pork is thoroughly cooked.
Remove the grilled pork meat and cool for 10 minutes before serving. Slice the grilled pork neck into small pieces and serve with sticky rice and fresh vegetables.
