What makes these skewers burst with flavor? The secret lies in Coca-Cola® – the special ingredient that adds a delightful twist to the dish.
Ingredients
FOR MEAT
- 6 in. wooden skewers
- 1 1/2 tsp. rice wine
- 2 tbsp. cornstarch
- 1 egg white
- 1 1/2 lb. pork loin or tenderloin, sliced thinly into rectangle-shaped pieces (about 24 slices)
FOR SAUCE
- 2 tsp. vegetable oil
- 2 tsp. fresh grated ginger
- 1 tbsp. Fresh Minced Garlic

- 1 tsp. toasted sesame oil
- 1/4 c. brown sugar

Instructions
- Soak skewers in water while you prepare meat. Whisk together rice wine, cornstarch and egg white until frothy. Coat meat in mixture and marinate for 30 minutes in refrigerator.
- Thread meat onto skewers, and set aside.
- To make the sauce, add vegetable oil to a pan and stir-fry garlic and ginger for 30 seconds over medium heat. Whisk in all other ingredients except for green onions. Let sauce simmer and thicken for about 5 minutes.
- Grill skewers on a BBQ grill, under the broiler, or on a stovetop grill pan for 3 minutes per side, until cooked through and lightly browned. Remove skewers and place on a serving platter. Coat them with the heated sauce and garnish with chopped scallions.
