Video Transcript

"On behalf of Expert Village, I am Laura Banford and I am going to show you how to make Hawaiian pork with braised cabbage and pineapple tomato skewers. Now we are going to prepare our pineapple tomato skewers. First we are going to make a simple marinate. Some Canola oil, about 1/2 cup, a little bit of mirin for sweetness. We always want to make a balance. Oil as a base, to help the marinate cling to your whatever your ingredients are. In this case, cherry tomatoes and pineapple. Mirin for sweetness and now a little acid in the form of fresh lime juice. That?s kind of like a, its a marinate or almost like a dressing or the bases for a, base for a dressing. Going to add our pineapple; oops lost one. Then our cherry tomatoes. I am just going to toss those around. I am going to make a couple skewers alternating the pineapple. There you see a nice big cherry tomato doesn't get squashed, just goes right thought and its perfect. When I make a skewer, I like to leave space in between. That helps, that helps the ingredients to char a little bit. Add another tomato. I am going to make some more of these. Isn't that pretty? Nice and colorful. When we come back, we are going to grill our pineapple tomato skewers. See you then."
