Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Thread pork cubes onto 8 bamboo or metal skewers (if bamboo, soak 20 minutes first).

  2. Step 2

    Whisk brown sugar, soy sauce, garlic, and vinegar in a bowl until sugar dissolves.

  3. Step 3

    Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.

  4. Step 4

    Sear skewers 2–3 minutes per side until pork browns and edges char slightly.

  5. Step 5

    Pour glaze over skewers and toss continuously for 1–2 minutes until sticky and caramelized.

  6. Step 6

    Serve hot. Glaze will thicken as it cools.
