Grilled Hoisin Pork Tenderloin Kebabs

 

Ingredients

• 650-750 gr pork tenderloin cut into 1" pieces
• 1/2 cup hoisin sauce
• 1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt (omit if using seasoned pork)
• 2 teaspoons 5-spice powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne (optional--reduce or omit for less heat)
• 3/4 teaspoons corn starch

Directions

1. If using wooden skewers, soak in warm water for at least 30 minutes to lessen burning on the grill.
2. In small bowl, whisk together sauce ingredients. Remove 1/4 cup sauce mixture and reserve. Add pork pieces and remaining sauce to large bowl and toss to evenly coat. 
3. Thread pork onto skewers, leaving 1/4-inch of space between each piece of meat to promote even cooking. (MAKE-AHEAD TIP: You can prep the skewers to this point, cover, and refrigerate up to a day ahead.)
4. Spray skewers all over with cooking spray.
5. Preheat grill on high heat, clean grates and use paper towels and tongs to coat grates lightly with cooking oil.
6. Grill pork skewers for 3-4 minutes until charred. Flip over, baste with reserved hoisen mixture, and cook 3-4 minutes more until internal temperature is 140 degrees. 
7. Transfer to platter and tent loosely with foil. Let rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with green onions and serve with rice.
