Marinade
2 pounds pork shoulder
1 garlic clove, peeled and crushed
1 tablespoon grated ginger
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons sake
2 tablespoons mirin
3 tablespoons miso paste
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 tablespoons gochujang or sriracha sauce
2 green onions, sliced finely
Dipping Sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons gochujang or sriracha sauce
1 teaspoon rice vinegar
2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 green onion, sliced

1
For the pork: Cut the pork shoulder into 2-inch cubes and thread onto skewers.
2
Make the marinade: Mix all the ingredients together and make sure they're well combined. There should be no lumps of miso, and the sugar should be dissolved. Marinate the pork for at least 1 hour or overnight in the fridge.
3
Grill the skewers over indirect heat until internal temperature reaches 145u00b0 F, approximately 45 minutes. They need to be watched carefully and turned 2 to 3 times because they can burn easily. Do not overcook or the pork gets tough-I've done it. (These could be made in the oven/broiler but are best on the BBQ.)
4
Make the dipping sauce: Combine all ingredients and refrigerate before serving. Use more or less gochujang depending on your taste.
