Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Pork shoulder or pork belly (cut into cubes or strips)
- 0.5 cup Soy sauce
- 0.5 cup Ketchup
- 6 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 12 pieces Bamboo skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, minced garlic, lemon juice, ground black pepper, vegetable oil, and honey. Mix well to create the marinade.
Add the pork cubes or strips to the bowl and thoroughly coat them in the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the pork marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for the best flavor.
While the pork is marinating, soak the bamboo skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent them from burning during grilling.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using charcoal, ensure the coals are hot and ashy for even cooking.
Thread the marinated pork pieces onto the soaked skewers, leaving a bit of space between each piece for even cooking.
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the pork is fully cooked and slightly charred. Baste the skewers occasionally with the remaining marinade during cooking for extra flavor.
Remove the pork barbecue from the grill and allow it to rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve hot with steamed rice, a side of salad, or your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy!
