Sweet and Savory Glazed Meat Skewers

Sweet and Savory Glazed Meat Skewers

Ingredients

• For the Meat Filling:
  • 500g ground chicken, pork, or beef
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • Salt to taste
• For the Glaze:
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sriracha (optional, for spice)
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 1 tbsp butter (for caramelization)
• For Garnish:
  • Fresh parsley or chives (chopped)
• Other:
  • Skewers
  • Cooking oil for frying

Instructions

1. Prepare the Meat Mixture:
   • In a large bowl, mix ground meat with breadcrumbs, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper.
   • Form the mixture into small sausage-like shapes and skewer them onto sticks.
2. Cook the Skewers:
   • Heat a non-stick pan with a bit of oil over medium heat. Fry the skewers, turning occasionally, until fully cooked and browned (about 8-10 minutes).
3. Prepare the Glaze:
   • In a small saucepan, combine honey, soy sauce, sriracha (if using), and minced garlic. Heat over low-medium heat until it thickens slightly.
   • Stir in butter for a glossy finish.
4. Glaze the Skewers:
   • Brush the cooked skewers generously with the glaze while still in the pan. Let them caramelize for 1-2 minutes per side to achieve that golden-brown, sticky coating.
5. Serve:
   • Sprinkle with chopped parsley or chives for a fresh garnish.
   • Serve warm with additional glaze or dipping sauce on the side.
