Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the finely grated ginger root, peanut oil, sesame oil, minced garlic, honey, soy sauce, and orange juice. Whisk the ingredients together until well blended to form the marinade.
- Cut the pork fillets into 1-inch cubes. Place the pork cubes into a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish.
- Pour the prepared marinade over the pork cubes, ensuring they are fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap. Let the pork marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to absorb maximum flavor.
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill. If using metal skewers, proceed to the next step.
- Thread the marinated pork cubes onto the skewers, dividing them evenly. Discard any remaining marinade that was in contact with the raw pork.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, ensure the coals are fully lit and have a layer of white ash.
- Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the pork is golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C) for safe consumption.
- Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve the barbecued pork skewers hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, let the pork marinate for at least 2 hours, or overnight if possible.
- Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent them from burning.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat before cooking the skewers to ensure even cooking and delicious grill marks.
- Turn the skewers frequently while grilling to ensure the pork cooks evenly and doesn't burn.
- If you prefer a spicier marinade, add a bit of chili pepper or red pepper flakes to the mixture.
- Serve the skewers with a fresh green salad, grilled vegetables, or rice for a complete meal.
With a perfect blend of sweet, savory, and spicy flavors, these barbecued pork skewers are sure to be a hit at any gathering. The tender, juicy pork paired with the fragrant marinade creates an irresistible taste experience that will leave everyone craving more. Enjoy your delicious skewers with your favorite side dishes for a complete and satisfying meal.
