Chinese 5 Spice Marinated Pork Satay Recipe

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

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.

Yield: 25 appetizer servings

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.

Ended up very spicy. Pork loin was exceptionally tender. After refrigeration overnight, spice picked up a bit on the leftovers. Family loved it.
