Jee Bow Gai - Asian Skewers

I got this recipe many, many years ago and it's like the skewers you get in Chinese restaurants. Originally they were supposed to be wrapped in foil with a little marinade and deep fried. I found this WAY too messy and time consuming so I grill them now. (the longer you marinade them, the better it is. I usually marinade them for 2 days minimum)
