Sesame Salt Pork Skewers
Anthony Bourdain once said that the older he gets, the more he craved eating things on a stick. In my case, I believe this to be true. I’m always craving something on a stick or a skewer. These Hmong-style sesame salt pork skewers are extremely easy to make and are ready in 10-12 minutes(in addition to marinating the pork for a day).
