Thai Grilled Pork Collar is a delicious way to enjoy tender, juicy pork with rich, savoury Thai flavours. The simple marinade enhances the natural sweetness of the pork, while grilling gives it a beautifully smoky, caramelised finish. Perfect for an easy midweek dinner or a relaxed weekend meal.
Ingredients (Serves 2–4)
500g pork collar (also known as pork neck or shoulder)
2 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp fish sauce
1 tbsp raw sugar
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
Method
1. Marinate the Pork
• Cut the pork collar into thick strips or leave it whole, depending on preference.
• In a mixing bowl, combine the oyster sauce, soy sauce, fish sauce, sugar, oil, garlic, and pepper.
• Add the pork and coat thoroughly in the marinade.
• Cover and leave to marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best flavour.
2. Heat the Grill
• Preheat a grill or griddle pan over a medium-high heat.
• Lightly oil the grill or pan to prevent sticking.
3. Cook the Pork • Place the pork on the hot grill and cook for 5–6 minutes on each side, or until nicely charred and cooked through.
• The outside should be caramelised, and the inside tender and juicy.
4. Rest & Serve
• Leave the pork to rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This helps keep it moist and flavourful.
• Slice thinly and serve with sticky rice, fresh herbs, or a tangy Thai dipping sauce if you like.
Thai grilled pork collar is packed with bold flavour and incredibly simple to prepare. It’s a brilliant way to bring a taste of Thailand to your table with minimal fuss.
