About Grilled pork skewers

Grilled Pork Skewers are a flavorful and popular dish often associated with Southeast Asian cuisines, such as Thai and Filipino cooking. These skewers typically feature marinated chunks of pork, threaded onto sticks and grilled to perfection. The marinade often combines soy sauce, garlic, sugar, and spices, imparting a balance of sweet, savory, and smoky flavors. While rich in protein, pork skewers can contain higher fat levels depending on the cut of meat used. Grilling is a healthier cooking method that minimizes added oils, but the sugar in the marinade may contribute extra calories. For a lighter version, lean cuts of pork like tenderloin can be used, and portion control is encouraged to keep this delicious dish in line with dietary goals. Paired with fresh vegetables or served over steamed rice, grilled pork skewers can be both satisfying and a great source of energy.
