Ingredients

• Pork shoulder - 300 grams, cubed
• Soy sauce - 2 tablespoons

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, salt, and vegetable oil to create a marinade.
2. Add the cubed pork shoulder to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
3. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 10 minutes to prevent burning.
