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
- 3/4 c. Coca-Cola®
- 1 1/2 c. hoisin sauce
- 1/3 c. low sodium soy sauce
- 1 tsp. toasted sesame oil
- 1/4 c. brown sugar
- 2 tsp. cornstarch
- One bunch chopped scallions (for garnish)
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.
