Chinese Style BBQ Skewers w/ Sweet Lychee

Stephen Yen, head chef of Tao Downtown in NYC, whipped up these skewers entirely using the brand new Solo Stove Fire Pit Cooking System which converts our best-selling fire pits into grilling machines. Using the heat and flavor from real wood Stephen used the cast iron cooking surface to get an amazing sear!

Ingredients

• 2 LBS of Pork Tenderloin, cut into 1 in pieces
• 1 Can of Lychees
• 10 Skewers Sticks

Marinade

• 60g Hoisin
• 5g Soy Sauce (low sodium)
• 3g Rice Wine
• 5g Honey
• 1g Five Spice Powder
• 2g Sesame Oil

Finishing BBQ Glaze

• 50g Ketchup
• 10g Worcestershire
• 5g Hoisin
• 1g Five Spice Powder
• 20g Black Vinegar
• 5g Sriracha

Directions

• Put all of the marinade ingredients into a bowl and mix well.
• Place the cut pork pieces into the marinade and place in refrigeration for 24 hours.
• Start your Bonfire about 45 minutes before cook time to allow a bed of coals to form and for the cast iron surface to reach about 500°.
• Remove the pork and using a paper towel, remove excess liquid.

• Start to build the skewers, alternating the pork and lychee on the skewer.
• Each skewer should use about 4-5 pieces of pork with a piece of lychee in between.

• Place skewers onto the Cast Iron Grill.
• Cook for two minutes on each side or until pork reaches 145°.

• Once finished, remove from cooking surface and drizzle with Chinese BBQ sauce and enjoy!
