Ingredients

• 1 pound pork tenderloin
• 0.25 cup soy sauce
• 0.25 cup honey
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon ginger
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 2 pieces green onions
• 8 pieces wooden skewers

Directions

Step 1

Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.

Step 2

Trim any excess fat from the pork tenderloin and cut it into 1-inch cubes.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, lemon juice, black pepper, and red pepper flakes to form the marinade.

Step 4

Add the pork cubes to the marinade, ensuring that they are well-coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for deeper flavors.

Step 5

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

Step 6

Thread the marinated pork cubes onto the soaked wooden skewers, leaving a small gap between each piece to ensure even cooking.

Step 7

Lightly oil the grates of the grill. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the pork is cooked through and has a nice char.

Step 8

While the pork is grilling, chop the green onions finely.

Step 9

Once done, remove the skewers from the grill and allow to rest for a few minutes.

Step 10

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