Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Ground beef
- 250 g Ground pork
- 3 tbsp Soy sauce
- 2 tbsp Honey
- 2 cloves Minced garlic
- 1 tsp Minced ginger
- 1 cup Bread crumbs
- 1 large Egg
- 300 g Green cabbage
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 4 tbsp Vegetable oil
- 4 tbsp Ketchup
- 1 tbsp Vinegar
- 1 tbsp Brown sugar
- 8 pieces Wooden skewers
Instructions
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent burning during cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, minced ginger, bread crumbs, and the egg. Use your hands to mix until well combined.
Divide the meat mixture evenly into 8 portions. Shape each portion onto a wooden skewer, pressing tightly to adhere. Set aside.
Shred the cabbage finely and place it in another bowl. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and let it rest for 5 minutes to release excess moisture. Squeeze out the liquid gently.
In a medium bowl, mix the cabbage with all-purpose flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Stir until well coated and slightly sticky.
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Scoop a small handful of the cabbage mixture and flatten it into a patty shape (about 6-7 cm in diameter). Fry 3-4 patties at a time for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Repeat with the remaining cabbage mixture, adding more oil as needed. Set cooked patties aside on a plate lined with paper towels.
Grill the skewered meat for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until cooked through and slightly charred. Baste with the remaining soy sauce in the last 2 minutes of cooking.
In a small saucepan, combine ketchup, vinegar, brown sugar, and 1 tablespoon soy sauce over medium heat. Stir until the sauce thickens slightly and becomes glossy, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
Serve the skewered meat with cabbage patties on the side. Drizzle everything with the prepared sauce or serve the sauce on the side for dipping. Enjoy!
