Main Ingredients- 300g Pork Belly
- 20 whole garlic cloves
- 2 stalks of green onion
Spicy & Sweet Special Sauce- 2 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp oligosaccharide (or corn syrup)
- 1/2 Tbsp chopped green onion
- 2/3 Tbsp minced garlic
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp oligosaccharide (or corn syrup)
- 1/2 Tbsp chopped green onion
- 2/3 Tbsp minced garlic
- 1/2 cup water
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s make the delicious special sauce. In a bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of soy sauce for a deep flavor, 1 tablespoon of oligosaccharide for sweetness, 1/2 tablespoon of chopped green onion for aroma, 2/3 tablespoon of minced garlic for richness, and 1/2 cup of water for moisture. Stir everything together thoroughly until the sauce is well combined.
Step 2
Pour the prepared sauce into a heated pan and simmer it over low heat. Once the sauce thickens slightly, turn off the heat and transfer the sauce to a separate bowl for later. We’ll be brushing this onto the skewers.
Step 3
Now, let’s prepare the ingredients for the skewers. Clean the whole garlic cloves by peeling off the outer skin. Cut the green onions into bite-sized pieces, similar in size to the pork belly, and roughly chop them into manageable lengths. Using a mix of the white and green parts of the onion will make them visually appealing.
Step 4
Next, cut the star of the dish, the pork belly, into bite-sized pieces. If they’re too small, they’ll overcook, and if they’re too large, they’ll be difficult to skewer, so getting the size right is important. Aim for pieces that look good on a skewer and are easy to eat in one bite.
Step 5
It’s time to artfully arrange the ingredients on the skewers. Alternating layers of green onion, garlic, and pork belly creates a visually appealing skewer and ensures a harmonious blend of flavors when cooked. Think about the colors as you assemble them to make them even more appetizing.
Step 6
If you’re using an oven, preheat it to 180°C (350°F). Place the pork belly skewers in the preheated oven and bake for about 10 minutes. They should start to turn lightly golden brown on the surface.
Step 7
After 10 minutes, carefully remove the skewers from the oven and flip them over. Bake for another 10 minutes on the other side. This will ensure they are cooked through and remain juicy.
Step 8
If you don’t have an oven, a frying pan works just as well! Heat a frying pan over medium-low heat, place the pork belly skewers, and cook them slowly until they are nicely browned. It’s important to flip them occasionally to prevent them from burning.
Step 9
Once the pork belly is sufficiently cooked, brush the special sauce you made earlier evenly over both sides of the skewers. Be careful with the heat to prevent the sauce from burning, and grill until they have a beautiful glaze. Your delicious pork belly skewers are ready! ^^
