Instructions
  1. Bring mirin, low sodium soy sauce, honey and crushed garlic to a boil in a medium-sized sauce pan, and cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  2. Cut the chicken into 1-inch pieces and place in a Ziplock bag; pour half of the marinade over the chicken. Place the zucchini in a second large Ziplock bag and pour the remaining marinade over the zucchini. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Meanwhile, soak the skewers in water 30 minutes so they don’t burn.
  3. Thread the chicken onto skewers, alternating with green onion so that each stick has 3 cubes of chicken and two pieced of green onion, discarding the chicken marinade.
  4. Thread the zucchini onto skewers, alternating with remaining green onion, reserving the marinade for basting.
  5. Preheat the grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat. When hot, spray with oil then reduced heat to medium; grill the zucchini and chicken skewers about 5 to 6 minutes on each side brushing both sides of the skewers with the yakitori sauce during the last few minutes of cooking time..
  6. Makes 14 chicken skewers, 4 zucchini skewers.
Recipe Notes

*Note: It’s really hard to be accurate with the sodium here since most of it is tossed, I calculated it with 2 tbsp soy sauce and 1 tbsp mirin, but it would actually be less.

Instructions
  1. Cut pork with the grain into strips 1 1/2- to 2-inches long; put into a large resealable plastic bag.
  2. Stir soy sauce, honey, ketchup, brown sugar, rice wine, hoisin sauce, red food coloring, and Chinese five-spice powder together in a saucepan over medium-low heat; cook and stir until just combined and slightly warm, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour the marinade into the bag with the pork, squeeze air from the bag, and seal. Turn bag a few times to coat all pork pieces in marinade.
  3. Marinate pork in refrigerator, 2 hours to overnight.
  4. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
  5. Remove pork from marinade and shake to remove excess liquid. Discard remaining marinade.
  6. Cook pork on preheated grill for 20 minutes. Put a small container of water onto the grill and continue cooking, turning the pork regularly, until cooked through, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
Recipe Notes

Some might like to add a teaspoon of Chinese 5 spice; I don't like the flavor myself. Red bean curd can be used in place of the red food coloring.
