Pork Tocino

Ingredients

Cooking oil

2 tablespoons

Black pepper

1/2 teaspoon

Salt

1 teaspoon

Brown sugar

1/4 cup

Garlic

4 cloves, minced

Soy sauce

1/4 cup

Pineapple juice

1/2 cup

Pork shoulder

1 pound, thinly sliced

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine pineapple juice, soy sauce, minced garlic, brown sugar, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until the sugar is dissolved and the ingredients are well-blended.
2. Add the thinly sliced pork shoulder to the marinade. Ensure that each slice is evenly coated with the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for the best flavor.
3. When ready to cook, heat the cooking oil in a skillet over medium heat.
4. Remove the pork from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Cook the marinated pork slices in batches to avoid overcrowding the skillet.
5. Cook each side for about 3-4 minutes or until the pork is browned and cooked through, caramelizing the sugars for a delicious crust.
6. Transfer the cooked pork tocino to a serving plate and serve hot with steamed rice. Enjoy!
