Method:
- Pre-heat oven to 180°C.
- Rinse and cut the meat into cubes, then marinate for 15 minutes.
- Cut the onion, red and green capsicum, then thread the vegetables with the meat onto the skewers.
- Brush with oil and sprinkle black pepper onto the skewers, then grill them in oven for six to seven minutes on each side.
- Heat orange juice and stir in sugar and salt, add orange zest and corn starch water to thicken the sauce.
- Pour the sauce onto the cooked skewers, then serve while hot.
Nutrition tips:
- Soaking the wooden skewers in water prevents them from burning in the oven.
- Readymade sauces are high in sugar and sodium, while this homemade orange sauce does not contain added sugar and only has 1/3 teaspoon of salt, making it a healthier option.
