Yakatori is usually marinated sirloin steak. This is my version, only with pork. I fix it with an extra skewer of grilled orange bell peppers, rice, and a couple of grilled oranges. I think you'll like it. Oh, a word of caution. Read more Resist the temptation to add salt to this recipe. The salt in the soy sauce is sufficient. See less
Ingredients
- 1/2 c soy sauce shopping list
- 2 Tb cooking oil shopping list
- 2 Tb lemon juice shopping list
- 1 Tb sesame seeds shopping list
- 2 Tb white sugar shopping list
- 2 green onions, thinly chopped, tops too shopping list
- 1 clove garlic, finely minced shopping list
- 1 tsp ground ginger shopping list
- 1 1 lb pork loin, fat and tendon removed and cut into 1 inch cubes shopping list
- 1 - 2 yellow bell peppers, cut into 1 1/2 inch squares shopping list
- cooked rice shopping list
- 2 navel oranges, halved shopping list
How to make it
- In a large bowl, mix the soy sauce, cooking oil, sesame seeds, sugar, green onions, garlic and ginger.
- Add the cubed pork, cover, place in a refrigerator for 4 hours.
- When ready to grill, put on the rice.
- Next, light the coals if you are charcoal grilling.
- While the coals are beginning to whiten and the rice is cooking, thread the meat onto the skewers. (remember to soak wooden skewer for about 30 minutes prior to use, if those are your choice)
- Pour the remaining marinate into a soup bowl or cup for basting.
- Do not mix the meat and the peppers, but thread the pepper pieces on a separate skewer. Brush the peppers with the marinate.
- When the coals are white, place the skewers on the grill. Brush the cut surface of the orange halves with marinate and place them face down on the grill too.
- You can cover the pork, peppers and orange at this point and allow to cook for 8-10 minutes. But I prefer to leave them uncovered and baste them frequently in the sugary left over marinate. Peppers too.
- When the bottom sides of the meat begins to brown, turn the skewers and rotate the orange halves. Baste each.
- Cook until the meat is done. Remove the skewers from the grill and slide the meat off onto a large, flat pasta bowl. Do the same for the peppers. Remove the orange halves from the grill.
- Serve meat and peppers with a side order of rice and an orange half.

This sounds really delicious, but Yakitori is chicken. Yakiton is pork. Just a little info that I happen to know through a Japanese friend.
