Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Pork shoulder (cut into 1-inch cubes)
- 4 pieces Garlic cloves (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 8 pieces Wooden skewers
- 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh parsley or cilantro (for garnish)
Instructions
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the minced garlic, soy sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, ground black pepper, vegetable oil, and lime juice. Mix well to create a marinade.
Add the cubed pork shoulder to the marinade. Toss until all the pieces are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for deeper flavor.
Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated pork cubes onto the soaked skewers, leaving a small gap between each piece for even cooking.
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the pork is fully cooked and slightly charred on the edges. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes.
Sprinkle with chopped parsley or cilantro for garnish and serve immediately. These skewers pair well with a side of rice, a crisp salad, or grilled vegetables.
