    Instructions

    1. 1

      In a large bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of finely minced chipotle in adobo sauce, 0.5 cup of soy sauce, 3 tablespoons of honey, 2 tablespoons of rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon of grated fresh ginger, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1.5 teaspoons of Chinese five-spice powder, and 1 tablespoon of sesame oil to create the marinade.

    2. 2

      Add 1.5 pounds of 1-inch cubed pork shoulder to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are well coated, then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.

    3. 3

      Preheat a charcoal grill to medium-high heat, ensuring the grates are clean and lightly oiled.

    4. 4

      Thread the marinated pork cubes onto 10-12 soaked wooden skewers, leaving a small space between each piece for even cooking.

    5. 5

      Grill the pork skewers for 10-14 minutes, turning every 2-3 minutes, until the pork is thoroughly cooked and beautifully charred with an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

    6. 6

      Remove the grilled skewers from the heat, allow them to rest for 5 minutes, then garnish with 2 tablespoons of sliced green onions before serving.
