Pork barbecue in bamboo skewers is what Filipino Style Pork BBQ is all about. It is composed of thinly sliced pork pieces that are marinated in a special mixture of seasonings and spices. In the Philippines, it is normally grilled over wood charcoal and dipped in a tall jar of spicy vinegar before eating.
This Filipino Style Pork BBQ Recipe is simple enough for anyone to follow. You can combine all the marinade ingredients with the pork and mix it all together until well blended. Cover the bowl that holds the meat with a piece of cling wrap and placed it inside the refrigerator to marinate overnight. The recipe below indicates a minimum of 3 hours to marinate the meat, but we suggest you to do it longer (if you are not in a hurry) to get the best result.
Try portable charcoal grill (instead of my trusted gas grill) to make it as close as the one’s that you can. However, you can use the charcoal briquettes instead if the more traditional hardwood lumps. That is as close as you can get.
We assure you will be happy to get the result that you expect. It was a success! You can dip it in spicy vinegar and ate it with Java rice.
