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!

Tacos Dorados

While these are fried tacos, you can make them lighter by using lean ground beef (90/10), draining excess fat after cooking, and using just enough oil for frying rather than deep-frying.

The Summer Produce Guide: What to Buy, What to Skip, and How to Make It Last

Summer produce consumed at peak ripeness and close to harvest contains significantly higher concentrations of vitamins, antioxidants, and phytonutrients than the same produce purchased out of season or after extended storage. Tomatoes at peak ripeness contain measurably higher levels of lycopene — an antioxidant linked to cardiovascular health — than underripe ones, and the lycopene in cooked tomatoes is more bioavailable than in raw ones, making a simple summer tomato sauce one of the more nutritionally dense preparations available during peak season.

Black beans are one of the most nutritious additions you can make to any ground beef dish—they add plant-based protein, fiber, iron, and folate while extending the yield of the loaf so a smaller amount of beef feeds more people. Using lean ground beef and a salsa-based binder instead of a heavier sauce keeps the fat content in check without sacrificing any of the bold, satisfying flavor.
