Instructions
1
Prep
Cut pork loin into 1-inch cubes. Cut scallion and bell pepper into 1-inch pieces. Thread pork, scallion, and pepper alternately onto a bamboo skewer and pat dry.
2
Dredge
Lightly coat the skewer with flour, dip in egg white, then roll in panko breadcrumbs on a plate, pressing gently to adhere.
3
Roast
Place skewer on a wire rack over a baking sheet, brush with sesame oil, and roast at 425°F for 12 to 15 minutes until golden brown and pork is cooked through.
4
Whisk
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, and black pepper for the dipping sauce.
5
Plate
Arrange shredded cabbage on a plate, lay the skewer alongside, and serve with the dipping sauce in a small dish.
