Pork and Leek Kebabs with a Spicy Soy and Honey Dipping Sauce
These kebabs are great served as a starter or as a main accompanied with steamed rice and grilled long-stem broccoli — or any vegetables of your choice. The ground pork can be substituted for ground chicken or ground beef, should you prefer. They are wonderfully simple and (most importantly) delicious. Oh, and I think they would work quiet well as a burger patty or a filling for a wonton. The choices are endless…well, more like 4 but you get the point — these kebabs are versatile, simple, tasty and rather in-expensive to make.
Serves: 4-6 Difficulty: Easy
