Yakitori (Japanese Grilled Pork Skewers)

Instructions:

1. Cut the pork shoulder into 1 inch cubes. Soak the bamboo skewers in water for 30 minutes.
2. In a small saucepan, combine the soy sauce, mirin, sugar, and finely minced garlic. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 10 minutes until slightly thickened. Let cool.
3. Skewer the pork cubes and green onions alternately onto the bamboo skewers.
4. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Brush the skewers generously with the soy sauce mixture.
5. Grill the skewers for about 4 minutes on each side, or until the pork is cooked through and slightly charred.
6. Serve the yakitori skewers with extra soy sauce mixture for dipping.
