FILIPINO PORK BBQ SKEWERS
Steps:
- Combine the liquid ingredients, sugar, onions and garlic and touch of salt to make your marinade. Add in the strips of pork. Let this marinade for a minimum of 1 hour, preferably overnight in the fridge. Make sure you soaked your skewers to prevent them from burning when on the grill. Skewer the meat. Set aside to let the excess marinade drip. Boil the marinade until it's reduced by half. Transfer into a bowl and mix the oil. This would be a good glaze as we grill the bbq. Sesame oil makes the bbq aromatic as we grill. Grill the skewered meat over charcoal for a few minutes. Probably would take about 5 minutes on each side. Brush both sides with the glaze to give it some shine and color. My dipping sauce would just be some spiced vinegar. Crushed garlic, minced onions and chili in some cane vinegar with a few dash of fish sauce and about a tsp of sugar. Enjoy your Filipino BBQ.
Tips:
- Choose the right cut of pork: For tender, juicy skewers, use a cut of pork that is well-marinated and has a good amount of fat, such as pork shoulder, pork tenderloin, or pork loin.
- Tenderize the pork: To make the pork extra tender, you can marinate it in a mixture of soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
- Use a variety of vegetables: To add color and flavor to your skewers, use a variety of vegetables, such as bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, and zucchini.
- Cook the pork and vegetables properly: To ensure that the pork is cooked through and the vegetables are tender, cook the skewers over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, turning them occasionally.
- Serve with your favorite dipping sauce: To add extra flavor to your skewers, serve them with your favorite dipping sauce, such as teriyaki sauce, barbecue sauce, or honey mustard.
