How to Make Asian Pork Marinade For Kebabs

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, and red pepper flakes.
  2. Add the pork chunks to the marinade, ensuring they are evenly coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
  3. Preheat your grill or broiler to medium-high heat.
  4. Thread the marinated pork chunks onto skewers. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes prior to grilling to prevent burning.
  5. Grill or broil the kebabs for approximately 8-10 minutes per side, or until the pork is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  6. Serve the kebabs immediately with white or brown rice and a side of Asian slaw. For the slaw, simply combine shredded cabbage, carrots, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, and a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
