Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons thai chili paste
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce

  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon hot red pepper flakes
  • 1 - pork tenderloin weighing about 1lb(you want to get at least 30 slices)

How To Make korean pork skewers

  • Step 1
    Mix chili paste, soy, vinegar, ginger, garlic and pepper flakes in a small bowl.
  • Step 2
    Place your thinly sliced pork in a quart-size zipperlock bag; add marinade, mix well and seal. Refrigerate for 4 hours or up to 2 days(great make ahead recipe).
  • Step 3
    When ready to serve, adjust oven rack to highest position and turn broiler on high.
  • Step 4
    Thread each pork slice onto a toothpick(soak the picks in water for at least an hour so they don't burn easily) and place on a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Step 5
    Broil until golden brown and just cooked through, about 5 minutes. For extra flavor and great color, garnish with thinly sliced scallion greens and serve.
