Vietnamese Grilled Pork Skewer

Step 1

If you are using wooden skewers, Soak them first in water for 10-20 minutes

Step 2

Let's start by preparing our garlic and shallots. Mince about 3 pieces of garlic, and 1 shallot.

Step 3

I recommend using Pork Belly, or for a leaner choice pork butt. Slice into thin slices about 1/4" thick. Pro Tip- If you freeze the meat for 30 minutes before slicing it will be easier to make thin cuts. You can ask your butcher to slice it for you too.

Step 4

Combine the following ingredients to make the marinade. Set aside about 2.5-3tbsp of marinade for basting.

Step 5

Combine the rest of the marinade with the pork and set aside for at least 10 minutes. The flavors will be even more amazing if you marinate overnight!

Step 6

Preheat your Air fryer to 400F and cook for 8 minutes flip and baste. After another 4 minutes at the 12 minute mark check the internal temp of the skewers. Depending on your air fryer the skewers may be ready now, or you may need a total of 15 minutes cook time. For a little extra char cook an additional 1-3 minutes. (Pork is safe to eat at 145F)

Step 7

Preheat Oven to 375

Step 8

Put your Pork skewers on a baking rack.

Step 9

Cook for 18-20 minutes , and flip and baste halfway. For a little extra char, broil for 1-2 minutes. Watch closely for burning.

Step 10

Wash and slice your scallions (Green parts only) , Place into a heat safe bowl.

Step 11

Heat up oil in a pan for about 1 minute on medium heat

Step 12

Carefully pour the oil over your sliced scallions, mix well

Step 13

Let cool 5 minutes and add your sugar and salt

Step 14

Garnish over your pork skewers
