1. Soak a package of small bamboo skewers in water for 2 to 3 hours. Prepare all ingredients and have at hand.

2. Combine the seasoning ingredients in a medium-size stainless steel or glass bowl and mix well. Mix the meat with the seasoning and marinate at room temperature for one hour or refrigerate overnight.
