Spicy Miso Ginger Pork Skewers
- Marinade
- 2 pounds pork shoulder
- 1 garlic clove, peeled and crushed
- 1 tablespoon grated ginger
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sake
- 2 tablespoons mirin
- 3 tablespoons miso paste
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons gochujang or sriracha sauce
- 2 green onions, sliced finely
- Dipping Sauce
- 1 1/2 tablespoons gochujang or sriracha sauce
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 green onion, sliced
- For the pork: Cut the pork shoulder into 2-inch cubes and thread onto skewers.
- Make the marinade: Mix all the ingredients together and make sure they're well combined. There should be no lumps of miso, and the sugar should be dissolved. Marinate the pork for at least 1 hour or overnight in the fridge.
- Grill the skewers over indirect heat until internal temperature reaches 145u0b0 F, approximately 45 minutes. They need to be watched carefully and turned 2 to 3 times because they can burn easily. Do not overcook or the pork gets tough-I've done it. (These could be made in the oven/broiler but are best on the BBQ.)
- Make the dipping sauce: Combine all ingredients and refrigerate before serving. Use more or less gochujang depending on your taste.
