Ingredients

  • 2 pounds Pork shoulder
  • 0.5 cup Soy sauce
  • 0.25 cup Honey
  • 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Ginger, grated
  • 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
  • 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
  • 2 tablespoons Green onions, chopped
  • 8 pieces Skewers

Directions

Step 1

Cut the pork shoulder into 1.5-inch cubes and place them into a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Thread the marinated pork cubes onto the skewers, dividing them evenly among the skewers.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.

Step 8

Garnish with chopped green onions before serving. Serve hot with your choice of side dishes.
