How to Cook Thai Grilled Pork Under the Broiler

Question

Has anyone tried the Thai Grilled Pork (Moo Ping) in the oven? I was wondering what temperature and how long to cook them. I usually do ribs low and slow, but that doesn't seem to be what this recipe is calling for.

Hi, First of all, apologies for the late response. Slipped through the cracks. And yes, the Thai grilled pork works well indoors under the broiler. Definitely make sure to use a broiler tray or a wire rack placed on a rimmed baking sheet for cooking. You want to make sure the liquid can drip off rather than pool around the meat. Timing is similar to grilling, though subject to peccadilloes of any broiler. Pay attention! With the sugar in the marinade, the meat can easily scorch.
Another possible variation is in the cut of meat. If you can find pork neck, sometimes called pork collar, it's remarkably flavorful and juicy. In Thailand, it's typically made with the collar.
