Whether for a quick dinner or a gathering, these honey-garlic pork skewers offer bold flavor, simplicity, and grilling fun!
Cut the pork shoulder into 1.5-inch cubes and place them into a large mixing bowl.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and freshly ground black pepper to create the marinade.
Pour the marinade over the pork cubes, ensuring all the pieces are well-coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for more intense flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F/200°C). If you're using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
Thread the marinated pork cubes onto the skewers, dividing them evenly among the skewers.
Place the skewers on the grill. Grill for about 6-8 minutes per side or until the pork is cooked through and has a slight char on the edges, turning occasionally.
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Garnish with chopped green onions before serving. Serve hot with your choice of side dishes.
