Honey Soy Pork Skewers
Tender, juicy pork shoulder skewers marinated in a sweet and savory honey soy glaze. Perfect for the grill and incredibly easy to make.
Ingredients
Serves 4-6
Pork
- 1 kg (2.2 lb) pork shoulder, cut into bite-sized cubes
- Wooden or metal skewers
Marinade
- ½ dl (¼ cup) Chinese soy sauce
- ½ dl (¼ cup) sweet chili sauce
- ½ dl (¼ cup) neutral cooking oil
- 2 tbsp honey
- Salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Cut the pork shoulder into evenly sized cubes, about 3–4 cm (1½ inches).
- In a large bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sweet chili sauce, oil, honey, salt and black pepper.
- Add the pork and toss until every piece is well coated.
- Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight for the best flavor.
- Thread the marinated pork onto skewers without packing the pieces too tightly.
- Cook the skewers on a preheated charcoal or gas grill over medium-high heat, turning frequently until nicely charred and caramelized. The pork is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 63°C (145°F). Let rest for 3 minutes before serving.
Notes & Pro Tips
- Marinating overnight creates deeper flavor and more tender meat.
- Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
- Serve with steamed rice, grilled vegetables, pickled cucumber or a fresh cabbage salad.
- A squeeze of fresh lime just before serving adds a bright contrast to the sweet and savory glaze.
