Preparation Steps
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together ½ cup brown sugar, 3 cloves minced garlic, ¼ cup pineapple juice, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon vinegar, 1 teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper, and red food coloring if desired until smooth.
- Thinly slice your pork shoulder or pork butt, and marinate it by tossing to coat in the marinade. Cover with plastic wrap or place in a sealable bag, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or ideally overnight.
- Preheat a non-stick pan over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the marinated pork to the heated pan with any leftover marinade, and cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes until caramelized.
- Stir the pork occasionally, cooking for an additional 10-15 minutes until the sauce thickens and sticks to the pork, ensuring it is cooked through.
- Remove from heat, let sit for a minute, and serve hot with garlic rice and a sunny-side-up egg.

Notes
Marinate longer for maximum flavor. Cook in batches to avoid overcrowding. Monitor the heat for best results.
