1/4 cup tightly packed cilantro leaves
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon Asian hot chili sauce, such as Sriracha
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 to 2 cloves garlic
One 2-inch chunk fresh ginger, peeled and roughly chopped

HOISIN-GLAZED PORK AND VEGGIE SKEWERS



Hoisin-Glazed Pork and Veggie Skewers image

Hoisin sauce infused with ginger, garlic and sesame serves as both marinade and grilling mop for these pork and veggie skewers. We love grilled citrus; the orange is great either squeezed over the skewers or saved as a treat at the end. Make the marinade again for grilled pork chops or chicken thighs.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

One 2-inch piece ginger, finely grated
1 large clove garlic, finely grated
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup dry white vermouth
2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 cup hoisin sauce
1 1/2 pounds pork tenderloin, cut into 1-inch chunks
1 cup snow peas (about 4 ounces)
One 8-ounce can sliced water chestnuts, drained
2 small red peppers, halved, seeded and cut into 1-inch pieces
One 15-ounce can baby corn, drained and halved crosswise
1/2 navel orange, cut into 4 wedges, wedges halved
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for oiling the grill grates
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 Family Size Tea Bags
2 quarts water
Sugar or sweetener, optional

Steps:

  • For the marinade and mop: Whisk together the ginger, garlic, soy sauce, vermouth, sesame oil, vinegar and sugar in a measuring cup. Pour 1/4 cup of the marinade into a small bowl, whisk in the hoisin sauce and set this basting "mop" aside.
  • For the kebabs: Toss the remaining marinade with the pork in a medium bowl, then cover and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  • Carefully thread onto a skewer 1 piece of pork, 1 snow pea folded over a water chestnut slice (the pea will crack on one side, but it will help hold in the water chestnut), a piece of red pepper and a piece of baby corn; repeat twice, then end with a piece of orange, skin side facing the last baby corn. Repeat with the remaining skewers and ingredients.
  • Prepare a grill for cooking over medium-high heat. Brush the skewers with the vegetable oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Lightly oil the grill grates. Grill the skewers until the pork is cooked through and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a piece registers 140 degrees F, 7 to 8 minutes per side. Brush the skewers with the mop, and continue grilling until the mop caramelizes, about 1 minute. Serve with iced tea.
  • For the iced tea: Pour 4 cups boiling water over teabags in a heatproof pitcher and allow to brew, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove teabags and add sweetener to taste. Stir in 6 cups ice cubes until melted. Keep refrigerated until ready to use. Makes two quarts.

Slightly spicy, but the sweetness tames the heat. Serve with rice.

Provided by Essanaye

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     Asian

Time 1h40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

½ cup rice vinegar
5 tablespoons honey
⅓ cup soy sauce (such as Silver Swan®)
¼ cup Asian (toasted) sesame oil
3 tablespoons Asian chili garlic sauce
3 tablespoons minced garlic
salt to taste
8 skinless, boneless chicken thighs
1 tablespoon chopped green onion

Steps:

  • Whisk the vinegar, honey, soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, chili garlic sauce, garlic, and salt in a bowl until smooth. Pour half the marinade into a large plastic zipper bag; retain the other half of the sauce. Place the chicken thighs into the bag containing marinade, squeeze all the air out of the bag, and seal. Shake a few times to coat chicken; refrigerate for 1 hour, turning bag once or twice.
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Pour the other half of the marinade into a saucepan over medium heat, bring to a boil, and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring often, to thicken sauce. Remove the chicken from the bag; discard used marinade. Place chicken thighs into a 9x13-inch baking dish, and brush with 1/3 of the thickened marinade from the saucepan.
  • Bake 30 minutes, basting one more time after 10 minutes; an instant-read thermometer inserted into a chicken thigh should read 165 degrees F (75 degrees C). Let stand for 5 or 10 minutes; meanwhile, bring remaining marinade back to a boil for 1 or 2 minutes, and serve chicken with marinade. Sprinkle with green onions.

Tips:

  • Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before using to prevent them from burning.
  • Use a high-quality cooking oil with a high smoke point, such as grapeseed or avocado oil, to prevent the oil from burning and smoking.
  • Baste the chicken skewers frequently with the glaze while cooking to keep them moist and flavorful.
  • Cook the chicken skewers over medium heat to prevent them from burning on the outside while remaining raw on the inside.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken skewers have reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) before removing them from the grill or oven.
  • Let the chicken skewers rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
