Loosely inspired by yakiton, Japanese grilled pork skewers, this recipe threads chunks of pork loin on skewers and broils them alongside asparagus tossed in ponzu sauce. Sesame-infused jasmine or basmati rice completes the meal.

Ingredients
Directions
- Heat the sesame oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the sesame seeds and cook, stirring, until golden, about 1 minute. Stir in the rice, then add 1 3/4 cups water; bring to a boil and cook until most of the water evaporates, about 8 minutes. Cover, reduce the heat to low and cook until tender, about 12 more minutes; remove from the heat and let stand until ready to serve.
- Meanwhile, preheat the broiler. Thread the pork onto 4 long metal skewers, leaving space between each piece; season with salt and pepper. Place the asparagus on a baking sheet and toss with the vegetable oil and ponzu sauce. Push the asparagus to the side of the pan and add the pork skewers.
- Broil the pork and asparagus, turning once or twice, until the pork is browned and cooked through and the asparagus is charred in spots, 8 to 10 minutes. Divide among plates and drizzle the pork with the pan juices; serve with the sesame rice and lemon wedges.
Cook’s Note
Ponzu sauce is a tangy Japanese condiment. If you can't find it, use low-sodium soy sauce and a splash of lemon juice.
