Step By Step

Instructions

1
Cut the pork into chunks that measure 2 to 3 inches long and 1 inch wide. Place them on a sheet pan and set in the freezer for about 30 minutes. (This will help firm them up to make slicing easier.)
2
While the pork is chilling, in a bowl, combine the lime juice, sugar, vinegar, shallot, jalapeño, chiles and fish sauce; whisk well to combine and dissolve the sugar. Pour ¼ cup canola oil over and set aside. Slice the stone fruit into ½-inch wedges.
3
Take the pork from the freezer and slice each chunk into thin planks. You should get 3 to 4 long thin slices per chunk. Place in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper. Add the stone fruit and chopped cilantro; toss again.
4
Prepare a charcoal or gas grill for high heat, making sure to clean the grates and lightly slick them with a kitchen rag or brush dipped in canola oil. Thread the pork and stone fruit onto the skewers and place on a baking sheet. (Thread each pork plank in wavelike fashion, pushing it through the skewer a couple of times.) Drizzle enough canola oil over the skewers to oil them lightly but thoroughly.
5
Grill the skewers until the pork is golden and lightly charred on all sides and the fruit is tender, turning occasionally, about 7 minutes total. Transfer to a serving platter. Whisk the fish sauce vinaigrette and pass it on the side. Serve with rice vermicelli, lettuce, cucumbers and/or cilantro.
