Ingredients

Marinate

  • 1 ½ cups 7up sprite or ginger ale
  • 1 cup banana ketchup
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil or olive oil
  • 5 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 8 cloves garlic minced
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoons salt

Meat

  • 3 pounds pork butt or pork shoulder sliced into long thin strips
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Cut pork into long thin strips and place in a container with room to accommodate the marinate. Set aside.
  • Mix all the marinade ingredients. Taste if you like the sweetness to your liking.
  • Pour marinade over pork. Mix well.
  • Cover container with lid or plastic like saran wrap.
  • Marinate for half a day or better yet overnight.
  • Put 4 to 5 pieces of pork on a bamboo skewer. Make sure it is not loose so porkdoesn’t fall off the skewer.
  • Prepare and heat up the grill. Have a big bottle of water when flames flare up.
  • Make sure you have an area in your grill that you can move the pork barbeque when fire flares up. With sugar as ingredient, pork will burn easily.
  • Cook each side for 7 minutes in low fire or longer depending on your preference. I like well done so I cook mine longer than 7 minutes.
  • Don’t discard the marinate. Use it to baste your Pork BBQ when you flip it. Don't baste 5 minutes before removing from grill since raw meat was marinated in it.
  • Serve BBQ with onion vinegar mix with or without chili pepper depending on your taste. Enjoy!

Notes

  1. Cut pork or chicken into small strips for easier skewing.
  2. When using pork, it is best to use pork belly, pork shoulder or pork butt with FAT. Leaner pork is not very tasty for barbecue.
  3. It is best to marinate meat overnight in the fridge.
  4. You can make extra marinated pork or chicken and freeze it.
  5. If using a bamboo skewer, soak it in water for an hour so it doesn't burn when grilling.
  6. Don't discard the marinate, use it to baste while grilling but don't baste before removing bbq from grill since raw meat was marinated in it.
