Ingredients

  • 1 whole Pork Tenderloin

Ginger and Garlic Marinade

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 3 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp evaporated cane sugar
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1/2 tbsp ginger, peeled/grated

Instructions

  • Take whole pork tenderloin out of package and pat dry.
    1 whole Pork Tenderloin
  • Slice thin and against the grain - roughly 1/8-1/4" is ideal.

Combine Garlic and Ginger Marinade Ingredients

  • To a bowl combine the ingredients in the specified quantities.
    3 cloves garlic, minced, 1 tsp black pepper, 3 tbsp low sodium soy sauce, 2 tbsp oyster sauce, 1/2 tsp baking soda, 1/4 tsp salt, 2 tbsp evaporated cane sugar, 1 tbsp vegetable oil, 1/2 tbsp ginger, peeled/grated
  • Take your sliced pork and put into a ziplock bag and then pour your marinade into the bag.
  • Massage marinade into meat and then marinate for at least 6 hours or ideally, overnight.
  • While the pork marinates, soak bamboo skewers in water overnight.

Skewer the Pork

  • The next day, take your skewers and weave the pork onto the stick.
  • Don't tightly stack the meat, leave it somewhat loose on the skewer.

Get Your Grill to 350-400F

  • I'm using a charcoal grill with an elevated cooking grate.
  • Once at temperature, take your pork skewers and place on the grill.
  • On my charcoal grill, these only take 2-4 minutes per side. What you're looking for is the meat to brown, not burn.
  • Once done, take off the grill and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

In a lot of cultures they'll take the pork skewers and snip off any charred pieces with scissors. 
It's also not uncommon to brush the meat as it grills with evaporated, condensed milk.
