  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 tbsp Water
  • Black Pepper to taste

Method

45m1h
  1. In a small saucepan, whisk together mirin, pineapple or orange juice, tamari, honey, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes. Bring to a low boil, then reduce heat to medium. Simmer for about 10 minutes or until slightly reduced.
  2. Mix cornstarch with water in a small bowl. Whisk into the simmering teriyaki sauce. Continue to cook and stir until the sauce thickens and becomes bubbly.
  3. Pat the pork dry and, if necessary, cut into 1 ½-inch cubes. Season with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, tamari, and olive oil. Toss to coat and set aside to marinate for 30 minutes.
  4. Cut the pineapple, red bell pepper, and yellow onion into 1½-inch pieces.
  5. Thread the marinated pork, pineapple, bell pepper, and onion onto pre-soaked bamboo skewers.
  6. Grill or broil the skewers on high heat for 10-15 minutes, brushing occasionally with teriyaki sauce and turning every 3-5 minutes.

Notes

For best results, allow the pork to marinate for at least 30 minutes before grilling to enhance the flavour. If using a grill, make sure it's well-oiled to prevent sticking. The skewers can also be cooked under a grill if barbecuing isn’t an option.
