Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons salt-reduced soy sauce
2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
1 teaspoon sweet chilli sauce
1/2 teaspoon canola or olive oil
450 g lean pork fillets, cut into 2cm cubes
1 red capsicum, cut in half, seeds removed
1 green capsicum, cut in half, seeds removed
8 bamboo skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
Cooking method
-
1. Mix the soy sauce, ginger, chilli sauce and oil together. Add the pork, cover and marinate for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator.
2. Cut the capsicums into triangles and thread them onto the skewers alternately with the pork.
3. Cook on a hot barbecue or under a hot grill, basting once with any remaining sauce. (Take care not to overcook - pork cooks very quickly and needs to be juicy inside to taste best.)
Notes: For a vegetarian alternative, replace the pork with 500g firm tofu or tempeh.
