Pork barbecue in bamboo skewers is what Filipino Style Pork BBQ is all about. It is composed of thinly sliced pork pieces that are marinated in a special mixture of seasonings and spices. In the Philippines, it is normally grilled over wood charcoal and dipped in a tall jar of spicy vinegar before eating.

This Filipino Style Pork BBQ Recipe is simple enough for anyone to follow. All I did was to combine all the marinade ingredients with the pork and mix it all together until well blended. I covered the bowl that holds the meat with a piece of cling wrap and placed it inside the refrigerator to marinate overnight.  The recipe below indicates a minimum of 3 hours to marinate the meat, but I suggest to do it longer (if you are not in a hurry) to get the best result.

Ingredients

• ▢4 lbs. pork shoulder sliced into thin pieces

Marinade Ingredients

• ▢¾ cup soy sauce

• ▢½ cup juice extracted from calamansi or lemon

• ▢¾ cup banana ketchup

• ▢4 tablespoons dark brown sugar

• ▢2 tablespoons garlic powder

• ▢1 teaspoon ground black pepper

• ▢2 teaspoons salt

• ▢1 ½ cups lemon or lime soda

Instructions

• Arrange the pork slices in a large bowl.

• Add all the marinade ingredients. Mix well. Cover the bowl and marinate for at least 3 hours. Note: I strongly suggest marinating overnight for best results.

• Fasten the marinated pork together using bamboo skewers.

• Heat-up the grill. Start to grill your Filipino Style pork BBQ for 3 to 5 minutes per side until the meat is thoroughly cooked. Make sure to always baste the BBQ when flipping it over. Note: the basting sauce ingredients are the same as the marinade ingredients minus the lemon soda.

• Serve with spicy vinegar.
