Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Vietnamese Grilled Pork Skewers Delight.
Step 1
To create a mouthwatering dish of grilled pork belly skewers, start by gathering your ingredients.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine the cubed pork belly with minced red chile pepper, minced lemongrass, fish sauce, minced garlic, MSG, white sugar, and Chinese five-spice powder.
Step 3
Give it a good mix to ensure every piece of pork is beautifully coated in the marinade.
Step 4
Once mixed, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it chill in the refrigerator for 1 to 3 hours.
Step 5
This marinating time is crucial as it allows the flavors to meld together, making each bite a burst of deliciousness.
Step 6
While the pork is soaking up all those tasty flavors, let’s whip up a zesty dipping sauce.
Step 7
In a separate bowl, combine 1/4 cup of fish sauce, 1/4 cup of sugar, minced red chile pepper, fresh lime juice, minced garlic, and a pinch of MSG.
Step 8
Stir it well and let it sit for 30 minutes to an hour.
Step 9
This resting period will enhance the flavors, creating a perfect balance of sweet, salty, and spicy.
Step 10
If you find the sauce too thick, feel free to add a splash of water to reach your desired consistency.
Step 11
Once your pork has marinated to perfection, it’s time to assemble the skewers.
Step 12
Thread the marinated pork belly pieces onto bamboo skewers, making sure to space them evenly for even cooking.
Step 13
Preheat your grill to high heat and lightly oil the grate to prevent sticking.
Step 14
Grill the skewers for about 8 to 10 minutes, turning them occasionally until they’re crispy and cooked through.
Step 15
The aroma will be irresistible! Finally, serve your grilled pork skewers hot off the grill, accompanied by the vibrant dipping sauce on the side.
Step 16
Enjoy this delightful dish with friends and family, and watch as they savor every flavorful bite!.
