How to make Sticky pork skewers with wombok slaw
- For the chili pork kebabs, work the chili paste, soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, sugar, ginger and garlic in a small food processor until paste, combine with pork in a bowl and leave to marinate (15 minutes). Drain the marinade and put on the skewers alternating with the spring onion, then drizzle with a drizzle of oil.
- Heat a skillet or barbecue over medium-high heat, add the skewers and turn occasionally, drizzling with the remaining marinade, until glazed and cooked (5-6 minutes), then set aside.
- Meanwhile, for the nashi slaw, combine the kale, nashi and spring onion in a bowl. Combine oil, vinegar, soy sauce, and chili paste in a separate bowl, pour over the cabbage mixture, toss to coat, and serve with sticky pork skewers.
