Ingredients

  • 1 lb. of pork sliced into slightly thin strips
  • 1/2 cup vinegar
  • 1/4 cup ketchup (used banana ketchup for this recipe)
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp hot sauce (can add more if you want it spicy)
  • 1 can calamansi soda (sprite would do as a substitute)
  • 1 head of garlic crushed
  • 1 small onion minced
  • salt to taste
  • 1 tbsp cooking oil
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • metal, or bamboo skewers (soaked)

Method

  • Combine the liquid ingredients, sugar, onions and garlic and touch of salt to make your marinade.
  • Add in the strips of pork. Let this marinade for a minimum of 1 hour, preferably overnight in the fridge.
  • Make sure you soaked your skewers to prevent them from burning when on the grill. Skewer the meat. Set aside to let the excess marinade drip.
  • Boil the marinade until it's reduced by half. Transfer into a bowl and mix the oil. This would be a good glaze as we grill the bbq. Sesame oil makes the bbq aromatic as we grill.
  • Grill the skewered meat over charcoal for a few minutes. Probably would take about 5 minutes on each side. Brush both sides with the glaze to give it some shine and color.
  • My dipping sauce would just be some spiced vinegar. Crushed garlic, minced onions and chili in some cane vinegar with a few dash of fish sauce and about a tsp of sugar.
  • Enjoy your Filipino BBQ.
