Chinese Pork Skewers

What better way to enjoy you pork chops than to drive a metal skewer right through 'em!? Glaze 'em up, homies!

Ingredients

2 boneless pork chops, cut into 1-inch cubes

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon pepper

1/2 teaspoon Chinese Five Spice

1/4 cup agave syrup

2 tablespoons Chinese black vinegar

1 teaspoon champagne vinegar

1 tablespoon minced ginger

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Season pork with salt, pepper, and Chinese Five Spice. Thread cubes of pork on metal skewers and arrange skewers on a parchment-lined baking sheet, 1 inch apart.

2. Bake skewers for about 15 minutes, flipping at the midpoint, until internal pork temperature reads 165F.

3. In a pot, combine agave, vinegars, and ginger over medium high heat. Simmer for 5 minutes until reduced by half and slightly syrupy. Remove from heat; set aside.

4. Remove pork from the oven. Brush pork liberally with glaze. Turn on the broiler and broil the skewers for one minute. Remove skewers from broiler and apply more glaze; broil skewers for one more minute and then cool for 3 minutes before removing pork from skewers and serving.

5. Garnish with fresh cilantro.
