Ingredients:
- 2 1/4 lbs pork belly (or any cuts of pork except lean cuts)
Marinade
- 1 cup soy sauce
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 head garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1 cup carbonated lemon-lime beverage (I prefer 7-Up)
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- bamboo skewer
Directions:
-
Cut pork meat into thin and long slices – 1/4 inches thick and less than 2 inches wide.
-
In a mixing bowl, marinate the cut pork with the soy sauce, minced garlic, lemon juice, ground pepper, sugar, and the soda.
-
Mix well and keep in the refrigerator overnight.
-
Prepare the bamboo skewers by removing splinters and soaking in water for a few hours to reduce burning during barbecue.
-
String the pork on the skewers.
-
Over live charcoals, barbecue the pork on skewers until each barbecue is cooked – turning every few minutes on each side and basting the leftover marinate on the barbecue.
-
Note: these can also be cooked under the broiler in the oven.
