Cookware
Coal or Gas Grill
The one I'm using is a portable gas grill. It is very convenient for picnics and I've used it quite often. In this instance, I've converted it to use coal, but you can use it as is.

Directions
Annatto Oil
1. In a small pan, add 1/2 cup (118 ml) oil on medium heat.
2. When the oil heats up (don't wait till it boils), add the annatto seeds. Stir well.
3. Once it starts to boil. Turn off heat.
Marinating
1. In a large bowl, add all the ingredients listed. Mix well.
2. Now, add the sliced pork and thoroughly mixed.
3. Wrap the bowl, fridge and let it sit overnight. We want the meat to thoroughly soak in the sauce.
Basting Sauce
- In a bowl, add all the ingredients listed. Mix well.
Grilling
1. Clean the skewers and soak overnight to prevent burning during grilling.
2. Skewer the marinated meat.
3. Before grilling, brush the rack with some oil to prevent the meat from sticking to it.
4. If you’re using a gas grill, make sure not to set the flame too high. For coal grill, wait for the flame to subside before grilling.
5. Now, place the skewers onto the grill.
6. While the bottom side is cooking, brush the top side with the basting sauce.
7. After a minute or so, flip the skewers over and brush the bottom side.
8. Watch the skewers and flip often. If the meat start to dry, brush some more sauce on.
9. Remove the skewers once the meat turned golden brown.
And that’s it! Now we have juicy and delicious grilled pork to serve with our favorite vermicelli or rice dish.
That wasn’t too bad right?
