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 Last Thing on the Plate: A Love Letter to Dessert

Dark chocolate — one of the most universally beloved dessert ingredients — contains significant concentrations of flavanols, a class of antioxidant compounds that have been associated with improved cardiovascular health, reduced blood pressure, and enhanced cognitive function in multiple clinical studies. The flavanol content of dark chocolate is inversely related to processing — less processed, higher cacao percentage chocolate retains more of the compounds present in the raw cacao bean. A small serving of genuinely high-quality dark chocolate (70 percent cacao or higher) consumed as part of a balanced diet is one of the more evidence-supported dietary indulgences available — making dessert, at its best, both a pleasure and a health practice simultaneously.

Starbucks Just Dropped Two New Blue Drinks — And Every Purchase Helps Fund Clean Water

The Blue Coconut Refresher is one of the lighter options on the Starbucks summer menu at just 110 calories and 50mg of caffeine for a Grande — a reasonable afternoon pick-me-up without a heavy sugar load. The Iced Blue Coconut Matcha is more indulgent at 310 calories, largely due to the cream-based cold foam, but it also delivers 9 grams of protein from the milk components. If you want the matcha flavor with fewer calories, ask for light cold foam or swap to oat milk. And the blue spirulina used to color both drinks is a naturally derived pigment from algae — a genuinely cleaner alternative to the artificial dyes used in many other brightly colored Starbucks seasonal offerings.
