Step 1
Thread pork cubes onto 8 bamboo or metal skewers (if bamboo, soak 20 minutes first).
Step 2
Whisk brown sugar, soy sauce, garlic, and vinegar in a bowl until sugar dissolves.
Step 3
Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.
Step 4
Sear skewers 2–3 minutes per side until pork browns and edges char slightly.
Step 5
Pour glaze over skewers and toss continuously for 1–2 minutes until sticky and caramelized.
Step 6
Serve hot. Glaze will thicken as it cools.
