Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Pork shoulder
- 4 cloves Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Sriracha
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 8 pieces Wooden skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes)
Instructions
Cut the pork shoulder into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
Mince the garlic and grate the fresh ginger.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sriracha, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ground cumin, paprika, crushed red pepper flakes, lime juice, minced garlic, and grated ginger until well combined.
Add the pork cubes to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during cooking.
Preheat your grill or broiler to medium-high heat. Brush the grates or broiler pan with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
Thread the marinated pork cubes onto the soaked skewers, dividing them evenly among the skewers (about 4-5 cubes per skewer). Discard any excess marinade.
Grill or broil the skewers for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the pork is cooked through and nicely charred, reaching an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Remove the skewers from the grill or broiler and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the spicy pork skewers immediately with your favorite side dishes like rice, grilled vegetables, or a crisp salad.
