Crispy Pork Belly Skewers with Sweet and Spicy Glaze

 

 Ingredients:

 

1 pound boneless pork belly, cut into 1-inch cubes

1/2 cup soy sauce

1/4 cup honey

2 tablespoons rice vinegar

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 teaspoon minced garlic

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

12 wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes

Instructions:

 

In a large bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, red pepper flakes, and ginger.

Add the pork belly cubes to the bowl and toss to coat.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight.

Preheat1 the oven to 400°F (200°C).  

 

Thread the pork belly cubes onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each cube.

Place the skewers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake the skewers for 15-20 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through and slightly crispy.

Serve the skewers warm with a side of the marinade for dipping.

Tips:

 

For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of brown sugar to the marinade.

If you don't have wooden skewers, you can use metal skewers.

These skewers are best served fresh, but you can reheat them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes.

Enjoy!
