Moo Ping (หมูปิ้ง) – Thai Pork Skewers 🍢🔥

What is Moo Ping?

Moo Ping literally means “grilled pork.” 🐷 It is one of the most popular Thai street foods, usually sold in the morning markets or night bazaars. Pork is marinated with garlic, coriander root, soy sauce, oyster sauce and coconut milk 🥥 – then grilled slowly over charcoal.

The taste is smoky, sweet, salty and juicy at the same time. Locals eat it with sticky rice (khao niew) 🍚 and sometimes with spicy dipping sauce.

History and Origin

Moo Ping is traditional street food from central Thailand, but now you can find it all over the country. Vendors started selling it because it’s easy to prepare and cheap – perfect breakfast or snack on the go. Today, Moo Ping is a symbol of Thai street cuisine, just like Pad Thai or Som Tam.
