ASIAN PORK KABOBS — *Pork Kabobs – Perfect for a Family Cookout.*

I’m all about incorporating Asian flavors into various meals – there are so many yummy, flavorful ingredients! These pork kabobs feature a mouthwatering combination of garlic, soy sauce, and fresh ginger, which season the meat and vegetables.

I love this combination of pineapple, red onion, sweet orange bell peppers, and grape tomatoes with the pork tenderloin. The hoisin sauce adds a great depth of flavor as well. Of course, you could substitute the pork for chicken breasts if you have them on hand instead.

This is such an impressive-looking dish to serve at a backyard cookout with friends and family. It looks like it took you forever, but really, this recipe is so simple. And oh so delicious!

Frequently Asked Questions

How Long Do You Cook Kabobs on the Grill?

Most Kabobs will need about 2-3 minutes per side to cook. Allow approximately 10-15 minutes to cook the kabobs on the grill from start to finish. Ensure that all sides of the kabobs are in contact with the grill during the cooking process. This allows the meat, pineapples, and vegetables to caramelize and develop a crisp texture and amazing flavor.
Chicken Kabobs may take a minute or two longer for safety – it will depend on the heat of your grill and the thickness of your chicken pieces. A great recipe to start with is my tutorial on How to Grill Chicken Kabobs.

How long do you cook pork skewers in the oven?

Yes, you can cook these in the oven! Here’s how: preheat the oven to 350°F and place the skewers on a rimmed baking sheet. Cook them for 10-15 minutes, turning about halfway through, until the meat is cooked.

What can I use instead of hoisin sauce?

If you don’t have hoisin sauce, you can use BBQ sauce or teriyaki sauce. Keep in mind this will, of course, alter the flavor.

Serving Suggestions

The pineapple, pork, and vegetables all get so scrumptiously caramelized on the grill. Are you drooling yet?

Serve these kabobs over a bed of brown rice or with a simple green salad for an easy weeknight meal.

You can prep everything ahead of time, so you just have to pop them on the grill when you get home from work or the beach or wherever.
