Filipino BBQ

Ingredients:

This is how we do our barbecue. Strips of pork marinated in a sweet and sour marinade. Skewered and grilled. The most typical type is pork bbq which I'm sharing the recipe now.

You would need:

1/2 kilo of pork sliced into slightly thin strips
1/2 cup vinegar
1/4 cup banana ketchup
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tbsp hot sauce (can add more if you want it spicy)
1 can calamansi soda (sprite would do as a substitute)
1 head of garlic crushed
1 small onion minced
salt to taste
a few tbsp of cooking oil
skewers

Step 1:

Combine the liquid ingredients, sugar, onions and garlic and touch of salt to make your marinade.

Step 2:

Add in the strips of pork. Let this marinade for a minimum of 1 hour, preferably overnight in the fridge.

Step 3:

Make sure you soaked your skewers to prevent them from burning when on the grill.

Step 4:

Skewer the meat.

Step 5:

Boil the marinade until it's reduced to half. Transfer into a bowl and mix in some oil. I prefer using half regular cooking oil half sesame oil. For this recipe I used about 2 tbsp of each type of oil. Mix them well. This would be a good glaze as we grill the bbq.

Step 6:

Grill the bbq over charcoal for a few minutes. Probably would take about 5 minutes on each side. Brush both sides with the glaze to give it some shine and color.

Step 7:

My dipping sauce would just be some spiced vinegar. Crushed garlic, minced onions and chili in some cane vinegar with a few dash of fish sauce and about a tsp of sugar. Enjoy your Filipino BBQ.
