Prepare the pork
To remove the unpleasant smell of the pork, rub salt evenly around it about 2 times and then rinse with clean water to drain.
Next, use a knife to cut the meat into thin slices about 1/3 the length of your finger.
-
Prepare the ginger and marinate the pork
Peel the ginger, wash it clean and pound it finely.
Next, put all the sliced pork, the pounded ginger, 2 tablespoons of fermented rice, 1/2 tablespoon of monosodium glutamate, and 3 tablespoons of shrimp paste into a bowl.
Mix well and marinate for about 1 hour for the pork to absorb the spices evenly.
Tip: To prevent the meat from drying out while grilling, you can add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil.

Skewering and Grilling Meat
After marinating the meat, use skewers to thread through each piece of marinated meat.
Next, you light a fire in the charcoal stove and wait for the coals to become glowing red. Place the skewered meat onto the grill and grill for about 5 minutes until the meat is firm.
Cover the grilling meat with banana leaves to help it cook faster for about 10 minutes, then remove the leaves and flip the skewers.
Cover with banana leaves again and grill for another 5 minutes until the meat is evenly golden on both sides, then take each skewer out and enjoy!

How to choose fresh and delicious pork
- When buying pork, you should choose pieces that have a light pink or dark red color, have good elasticity, and feel dry to the touch.
- You should prioritize buying pork sold in supermarkets, TasteVN and reputable stores with clear origin to feel more secure when using it!
- Avoid choosing pork that has a pale color, an unpleasant smell, and poor elasticity, as these pieces have spoiled and are no longer fresh.
