What Is Filipino Pork BBQ?
Filipino pork barbecue is a popular dish in the Philippines and is loved by Filipinos around the world. The dish is made from thinly sliced pork pieces (although you can also make Filipino chicken bbq and Filipino beef bbq) that are marinated in a mixture of seasonings and spices.
The pork is then threaded with thin bamboo skewers and grilled, usually over wood charcoal. Sometimes it’s coated with a thin Filipino bbq sauce; other times, it’s dipped in a tall jar of seasoned vinegar before being enjoyed.
Easy and Delicious Filipino Pork Barbecue recipe
Filipino-style pork bbq is a relatively simple dish. It involves combining the marinade ingredients, blending the mixture, marinating the pork, skewering the meat, and cooking it just right.
What You’ll Need To Make This Recipe
For this Filipino bbq recipe you’ll need the following tools:
- An immersion blender (I recommend this one)
- A large mixing bowl
- Bamboo skewers (I like these since the wide ends help keep your fingers clean)
- A grill, personally, I find these taste best over a charcoal grill like this one. However, any bbq will work, or even a good quality grill pan can do in a pinch.
- Cling wrap
How Long Does Filipino BBQ Take To Make?
Cooking Filipino pork bbq doesn’t take that long. You’ll need to allocate about 30 minutes to actual cooking. The real-time stretch comes in the marinating. I recommend a minimum of three hours of marinating time to let the flavor soak in. But if you aren’t in a hurry, marinating for 8-12 hours is ideal.
