Sizzling Spicy Pork Skewers

Healthy Fact of the Day

Pork is a good source of protein and essential nutrients like vitamin B12, zinc, and selenium. Gochujang, the Korean chili paste used in this recipe, contains capsaicin, which may boost metabolism and have anti-inflammatory properties. The garlic and ginger in the marinade offer additional health benefits, including potential immune-boosting and anti-inflammatory effects.

Ingredients

 

  • 2 lbs pork shoulder, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp gochujang (Korean red chili paste)
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 2 tbsp sesame oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger
  • 1 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped
  • Sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, gochujang, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes.

  2. Add pork cubes to the marinade and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 2-4 hours.

  3. Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.

  4. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.

  5. Thread marinated pork onto skewers, discarding excess marinade.

  6. Grill skewers for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until pork is cooked through and slightly charred.

  7. Transfer to a serving plate and sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.

  8. Serve hot, with extra gochujang sauce on the side if desired.

Tip of the Day

“Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!

The Art of the Composed Salad: When a Salad Becomes a Meal

Composed salads that combine protein, healthy fat, fiber-rich vegetables, and complex carbohydrates in a single meal represent one of the most nutritionally complete meal formats available. The combination of protein and fiber produces a more sustained satiety response than either alone, while the variety of vegetables in a well-constructed composed salad delivers a broader range of phytonutrients and antioxidants than any single-vegetable preparation. The Niçoise, for example, provides complete protein from both tuna and eggs, omega-3 fatty acids from the olive oil and the fish, significant fiber from the green beans and potatoes, and the specific antioxidants of the olives and anchovies — making it one of the more nutritionally complete single-dish meals in any culinary tradition.

Jack in the Box Teamed Up With Hot Ones — And You Have Until July 22 to Try It

Spicy food has a few genuine health benefits — capsaicin, the compound that creates heat in chili-based sauces like the Hot Ones Sriracha, has been linked to temporarily boosting metabolism and reducing inflammation. That said, the sandwiches in this collab are still high in sodium and saturated fat. The Jr. Chicken Sandwich at $3.99 is a meaningfully lighter option than the full Chick-N-Tater Melt, delivering the Hot Ones Buffalo flavor experience with less overall calorie and fat load. And if you’re adding The Last Dab Apollo — the 3 million Scoville hot sauce — start with a tiny amount; a little goes a very long way.
