Step 1
Stir together soy sauce, brown sugar, calamansi juice, garlic, and black pepper in a bowl until sugar dissolves.
Step 2
Add pork slices to the marinade, toss to coat evenly, and let sit for 5 minutes while you heat your skillet.
Step 3
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 90 seconds.
Step 4
Working in batches, add pork to the skillet without crowding—you'll hear a loud sizzle.
Step 5
Cook 2–3 minutes per side until edges are charred and the pork is cooked through, stirring occasionally.
Step 6
Serve immediately over white rice with pickled vegetables (atchara) or fresh tomato salad on the side.
