Plum Pork Kabobs With Mushrooms, Onions over Scallion Rice
- 2 lbs pork tenderloin, cut in 1 1/2-inch cubes
- 16 -20 small cremini mushrooms
- 16 -20 small white pearl onions (you can always use a bit bigger variety, cut in half if you prefer that)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- salt
- pepper
- 12 cup plum sauce (I use a bottled plum sauce from the Asian aisle in almost any major grocery store, and in Asian Mark)
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil (light)
- jasmine rice, you can use your favorite (cook according to directions)
- chicken broth (I use chicken broth to cook the rice in versus water for more flavor)
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil (light)
- 4 scallions, fine chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, fine chopped
- Pork, Mushrooms and Onions -- Bring to room temp, or let it rest to take the chill off and cut into 1 1/2" cubes.
- Clean the mushrooms and peel the onions.
- You can leave them whole if small enough or you can cut them in half - either way.
- Toss into a large bowl with the olive oil, salt and pepper and coat well.
- Skewer -- Don't forget to soak your bamboo skewers in water for about 20-30 minutes so they do not burn, or you can also use metal skewers.
- I use 3-4 pieces of pork; 2-3 mushrooms and a couple of onions per skewer.
- Should make around 8-12 skewers, depending on the size of the skewer you are using.
- Sauce -- In a small bowl, microwave the sesame oil and plum sauce just for a few seconds to warm up which makes it easier to brush on.
- Rice -- Just cook in chicken broth if possible according to package directions, water will work just fine, but broth adds a little more flavor.
- Once done, toss in the sesame oil, scallions and cilantro.
- Grill -- Outside or inside, medium high heat, grill the skewers.
- I continually brush on some of the sauce as I grill the kabobs to make sure they are covered well.
- They take around 10-15 minutes until done, but the pork is still pink.
- Serve -- Serve 1-2 skewers per person over the rice and enjoy!
- It is a very simple, quick dinner with great flavor.
