Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup sprite or 7up – only for marinade
SAUCE:
  • 1 cup banana ketchup Jufran Banana Ketchup
  • ½ cup soy sauce
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup dark soy sauce kecap manis
  • ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
  • 10 cloves of fresh garlic
  • 2 inches of sliced ginger
  • 1 tablespoon gochutgaru
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoon red pepper flakes for some spice optional

Method
 

  1. 1.    Make the marinade / BBQ sauce
  2. 2.    In a saucepot, add all the liquids.
  3. 3.    Then smashed the garlic and slice the ginger. Add that to the pot.
  4. 4.    Bring to a boil then simmer for 30 minutes.
  5. 5.    Prep your pork shoulder. Cut them into 1-inch cubes.
  6. 6.    Cool down your sauce.
  7. 7.    In a large bowl, mix 1 cup of the sauce and a can of sprite/7up. Make sure the marinade is cooled down before adding it to the sliced pork.
  8. 8.    Add the marinade to the pork and keep it in the fridge to marinate for 1 hour. For the best result, marinate overnight.
  9. 9.    Keep the rest of your sauce in an airtight container and store it in the fridge. This will be your BBQ sauce for basting.
  10. 10. When you are ready to barbeque, start skewering the pork slices. Keep them tight. This prevents the pork from drying out. Discard the marinade.
  11. 11. Preheat your barbeque, make sure it is on low when cooking the pork.
  12. 12. Start basting right away with the reserved marinade to start developing the flavors.
  13. 13. The pork should be done in 15 - 20 minutes. With an internal temperature of 145 ºF

Notes

Tip:I like to make a huge batch of this to have throughout the summer. I freeze my marinated meat until I am ready to skewer it and barbecue it. The BBQ sauce is also freezable. 
Skewers: you can use bamboo skewers or the flat metal ones from amazon.
