Cut the pork tenderloin into large cubes.

Marinate the pork with fish sauce, brown sugar, chili, garlic, lemongrass, and Chinese 5 spice for about an hour before grilling.

Peel the outer skin off the lemongrass before using it in the marinade.

Prepare the dipping sauce by mixing water, fish sauce, chili, lime juice, brown sugar, and garlic.

Thread the marinated pork onto the Traeger Flexible Skewer, keeping the thickness of the meat even for even cooking.

Preheat the Traeger Timberline 850 to 260 degrees Fahrenheit for high grilling.

Place the skewer on the grill and close the lid.

Cook the pork for 8-9 minutes, checking the temperature with a probe.

Ensure the pork reaches a final temperature of 65 degrees Celsius (or 75 degrees Celsius for safety).

Remove the skewer from the grill and let it cool slightly before serving with the dipping sauce.
