College Cuisine: Sweet & Sour Pork Kebabs

SERC staff and students are keeping their cookery and baking skills as sharp as their kitchen knives with weekly food recipes designed to tantalise the taste buds.

This week’s recipe shows you how to make your own Sweet & Sour Pork Kebabs. The recipe is as follows:

Ingredients (Makes 4) 

• 2 Tbsp light soy sauce 
• 1 Tbsp clear honey 
• 2 Tbsp oil 
• 450g / 1lb boneless pork (e.g. leg or loin), cut into even-sized chunks 

Ingredients (sauce) 

• 1 Tbsp tomato purée 
• 2 Tbsp white wine vinegar 
• 2 Tbsp light soy sauce 
• 1 Tbsp brown sugar 
• 1 tsp cornflour blended to a paste with 1 Tbsp water 
• Spring onion, cut into strips (to garnish) 
• Boiled rice, to serve 

Method:  

1. Mix together the soy sauce, honey and 1 Tbsp oil in a shallow dish or a sealable container. Add the pork, toss well to coat then cover and leave to marinate for 2 hours at room temperature or overnight in the fridge.  
2. Thread the pork chunks on to 4 metal skewers (reserve the marinade.) Brush lightly with the remaining oil then cook under a pre-heated medium-hot grill for 15 minutes, turning several times, until slightly charred in places and completely cooked through.  
3. Meanwhile, make the sauce: pour any remaining marinade into a small pan and add the tomato purée, vinegar, soy sauce, sugar and blended cornflour. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, stirring constantly, for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat.
4. Place the kebabs on a warmed serving platter and pour over a little of the sauce. Garnish with spring onion strips and serve the kebabs immediately with the remaining sauce and boiled rice if you like.
