Chinese 5 Spice Marinated Pork Satay Recipe

Chinese 5 Spice Marinated Pork Satay Notes

This recipe was used by Chef Kevin Bozis and Chef Jennifer Statz for a "Stirring Things Up in Chicago" Event at the Old Town shop in June 2005.

Patty and Tom Erd spoke about ethnic Chicago spices and blends, and the guests were served five different ethnic dishes. This Pork Satay was served with Asian Coleslaw, and represented Chicago's China Town.

Ingredients

4 pounds pork loin, fat trimmed and cut into thin slices
3/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1/2 cup vinegar or cooking sherry
1/4 cup Chinese 5 Spice
4 teaspoons honey
2 teaspoons fresh garlic, finely minced
4 teaspoons crushed red pepper
1/2 cup olive oil

Serves / Yields

25 appetizer servings

Preparation Instructions

Mix all of the ingredients, except the pork, in a bowl. Place the pork and marinade mix in a covered container, or large zip lock bags, and refrigerate. Marinate several hours, or overnight, turning several times for full coverage of the meat.

Bring to room temperature before grilling. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for a couple hours before grilling to prevent burning. Thread pork slices onto skewers and grill to desired doneness.

This recipe was served at a Spice House event last night. The pork was tender and succulent with mild spice flavor. This will be a great addition to family meals and also cocktail appetizers.

Strawberries are too delicate to be picked by machine. The perfectly ripe ones even bruise at too heavy a human touch. It hit her then that every strawberry she had ever eaten--every piece of fruit--had been picked by calloused human hands. Every piece of toast with jelly represented someone's knees, someone's aching back and hips, someone with a bandanna on her wrist to wipe away the sweat. Why had no one told her about this before?
