Hoisin Chicken Skewers Recipes

HOISIN CHICKEN AND BOK CHOY KEBABS

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high and brush the grates with vegetable oil. Combine 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, the soy sauce, ginger, five-spice powder and white pepper in a large bowl. Add the chicken and toss to coat. Thread the chicken onto four 10-inch skewers. Thread the peppers and bok choy onto 4 more skewers.
• Grill the chicken, covered, turning occasionally, until well marked, 10 to 12 minutes, brushing with the hoisin sauce during the last minute of grilling. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and scallions.
• Meanwhile, brush the vegetable kebabs with vegetable oil and season with salt. Grill until the vegetables are charred, about 3 minutes per side. Serve with the chicken kebabs.

HOISIN-GLAZED PORK AND VEGGIE SKEWERS

Steps:

• For the marinade and mop: Whisk together the ginger, garlic, soy sauce, vermouth, sesame oil, vinegar and sugar in a measuring cup. Pour 1/4 cup of the marinade into a small bowl, whisk in the hoisin sauce and set this basting "mop" aside.
• For the kebabs: Toss the remaining marinade with the pork in a medium bowl, then cover and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
• Carefully thread onto a skewer 1 piece of pork, 1 snow pea folded over a water chestnut slice (the pea will crack on one side, but it will help hold in the water chestnut), a piece of red pepper and a piece of baby corn; repeat twice, then end with a piece of orange, skin side facing the last baby corn. Repeat with the remaining skewers and ingredients.
• Prepare a grill for cooking over medium-high heat. Brush the skewers with the vegetable oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Lightly oil the grill grates. Grill the skewers until the pork is cooked through and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a piece registers 140 degrees F, 7 to 8 minutes per side. Brush the skewers with the mop, and continue grilling until the mop caramelizes, about 1 minute. Serve with iced tea.
• For the iced tea: Pour 4 cups boiling water over teabags in a heatproof pitcher and allow to brew, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove teabags and add sweetener to taste. Stir in 6 cups ice cubes until melted. Keep refrigerated until ready to use. Makes two quarts.
