Ingredients
18 wooden skewers
1/3 cup lemon-lime soda, 7Up or Sprite
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup brown sugar
3 tbsp white vinegar
2 tsp sesame oil
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp pepper
1 tsp hot-red-chili-flakes
750 g pork shoulder, cut into 3-in.-long strips about 1/4 in. thick
Sauce
1/2 cup white vinegar
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 large chili pepper, chopped
1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
SOAK skewers in water for at least 20 min or overnight.
WHISK 7Up, soy, sugar, vinegar, oil, garlic powder, pepper and pepper flakes in a medium bowl. Add pork and stir until coated. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hr or overnight.
PREHEAT grill to medium-high. Thread each pork strip onto a skewer in an “S” shape, pushing down so skewer isn’t exposed. Reserve marinade. Oil grill and cook pork, brushing with marinade before flipping once, until pork is cooked, about 2 min per side. Remove from heat.
SAUCE: Stir vinegar, garlic, chili pepper and salt in a bowl. Serve with pork skewers.
