Grilled Pork Kebabs with Hoisin and Five-Spice

PRECISELY WHY THIS RECIPE WORKS:

Pork tenderloin is popular because it is lean and cost effective but it lacks flavor and is frequently dry. Grilling increases flavor but only for the meat’s exterior. By cutting the tenderloin within 1 inch cubes for kebabs we create more area for flavorful char. We also salt the chunk briefly to help you the pork retain moisture. We toss the pork pieces in a very flavorful low-moisture glaze (which contains added cornstarch to help you it cling) and thread them on to skewers. A midcooking application of glaze offers extra zing and the brief time to the grill minimize moisture loss.
