Ingredients
- 1 lb pork rib meat
- 8 g chili powder
- 10 g spicy powder
- 2 g chili pepper powder
- 8 g Sichuan peppercorn oil
- 8 g salad oil
- 2 g baking soda
- 3 g black pepper powder
- 3 g chili oil
- to taste sesame seeds
Instructions
- 1Cut the pork ribs
Take one pound of pork rib meat with clearly visible cartilage and use a sharp knife to cut it into small, uniform cubes on a blue cutting board to ensure even cooking.
Tip: Ensure the pork rib pieces are cut into uniform sizes so they cook evenly on the grill. - 2Season the pork cubes
Add 8 grams of chili powder, 10 grams of spicy powder, 2 grams of chili pepper powder, 8 grams of Sichuan peppercorn oil, 8 grams of salad oil, 2 grams of baking soda, 3 grams of black pepper powder, and 3 grams of chili oil into the metal bowl with the cubed pork.
Tip: Adding baking soda helps tenderize the meat during the marinade process. - 3Marinate the pork
Mix all the seasonings and pork cubes thoroughly together by hand while wearing a protective glove, then let it marinate for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate.
Tip: Allowing the meat to marinate for the full 20 minutes ensures the spices penetrate deep into the cubes. - 4Grill the pork skewers
Carefully place the skewered pork rib meat onto the charcoal grill grate and cook them slowly over a low flame to prevent the spices from burning.
Tip: Always cook these skewers over a low flame to prevent the spices from burning before the meat cooks through. - 5Brush with oil and finish
Once the pork skewers change color on the grill, flip them over and use a brush to evenly apply oil onto their surfaces, then garnish with sesame seeds before serving.
Tip: Brushing oil after flipping helps keep the meat juicy and enhances the grilled aroma.
