Yakitori Skewer Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Soy Glaze

    In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Reduce heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes until it thickens slightly. Remove from heat and let cool.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Cucumber Pickle

    While the glaze is cooling, prepare the cucumber pickle. In a bowl, mix sliced cucumbers with salt and let sit for about 10 minutes. Rinse and drain the cucumbers, then mix with a splash of rice vinegar and pepper. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Skewers

    Thread the steak and salmon pieces onto the soaked skewers, alternating between the two. Brush the skewers with the soy glaze.

  4. 4

    Grill the Skewers

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the skewers for about 3-4 minutes on each side, brushing with more soy glaze, until cooked to your desired doneness.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove skewers from the grill and serve immediately with the cucumber pickle on the side.
