You are going to love these Savory Sweet Asian Glazed Pork Kabobs! The marinade makes the pork so tender and gives it a tangy, sweet taste.
You are going to love these Asian glazed pork kabobs! Like the title says, they were a little savory and a little sweet and just tangy and delicious. They were especially good with some fresh grilled pineapple! I could grill every night during the summer! I just love getting the heat out of the house and the yummy way it smells outside. We are always experimenting with new grill recipes and this one was a huge winner! We will definitely be making this again soon.
Ingredients
- 4 to 6 pounds pork chops
Marinade Ingredients:
- 3/4 c. sugar
- 1/2 c. soy sauce
- 3 Tbsp hoisin sauce
- 2 Tbsp dry sherry
- 1 Tbsp minced fresh ginger
- 2 tsp minced garlic
Instructions
- Cut the pork chops into bite size pieces, I like to cut off the excess fat but that is a personal preference.
- In a medium bowl mix together all the marinade ingredients and pour over the pork chop pieces. Let marinade for at least an hour- the longer the better.
- Thread the pork onto skewers but don't throw the marinade away. Allow the uncooked kabobs to sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes.
- In the meantime, Pour the excess marinade into a sauce pan over medium high heat and bring to a boil for a full minute, then reduce to low heat.
- Grill the kabobs over medium heat, basting generously with the marinade every couple of minutes until fully cooked.
- We like to serve with a side of fresh grilled pineapple.

June 19, 2013 at 8:25 pmFour to six POUNDS of pork chops?? Will I have enough marinade?
Emily says
June 19, 2013 at 9:46 pmYeah, we got the big thing of pork chops at Costco and there was plenty of marinade to cover it all. But you could always double the marinade or half the amount of pork chops if you want them extra saucy. 🙂

June 25, 2013 at 5:20 pmSounds yummy. Is there anything else I can sub for the sherry, we don’t use alcohol?
Emily says
June 25, 2013 at 7:41 pmYou would probably be ok leaving it out. You can get cooking sherry, I’m not sure if there is alcohol in it but all the alcohol cooks out.

June 28, 2013 at 7:31 pmDo you use a certain cut of pork chop? Bone-in, center cut boneless, thin, thick? So many choices!
Emily says
June 29, 2013 at 11:32 amI got boneless pork chops, they were pretty thick cuts.

July 24, 2014 at 8:44 pmThis was so so good I had to double up had lots of kabobs to make, only thing I didn’t double up on was sugar 3/4 cup was plenty and I let my meat marinade two days and it was fantastic 🙂
