directions
Step 1
Dissolve the salt and sugar in the boiling water, and then add to the cold water. Add the raw pork, cover, refrigerate and allow soaking for 12-24 hours.
Step 2
Remove pork from brine and rinse twice in cold water, and then pat dry with paper towels. Cut into 1" cubes and set aside.
Step 4
Reduce heat to low heat and simmer up to one hour to thicken.
Step 5
Prepare skewers: if you are using metal skewers, lightly oil with vegetable or canola oil. If you are using wooden skewers, soak them in water for one hour.
Step 6
Preheat grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
Step 7
Alternate pork loin cubes with bacon squares on skewers and brush pork loin with Ghost Pepper sauce. Place on the prepared grill, turning and brushing with Ghost Pepper sauce frequently, for 10-12 minutes.
Step 8
Place scallions on grill and char slightly. Remove and slice thinly, scatter over skewers.
