Step 1
Cut the 1 lb pork shoulder into 1-inch cubes. In a bowl, mix 0.25 cup soy sauce, 0.25 cup brown sugar, 3 minced garlic cloves, and 2 tbsp lemon juice until the sugar dissolves.
Step 2
Add the pork cubes to the marinade, toss to coat, and let sit for 10 minutes while you soak 8 bamboo skewers in water.
Step 3
Thread 4-5 pork cubes onto each skewer, pressing them snugly together. Reserve the leftover marinade for basting.
Step 4
Grill the skewers over medium-hot charcoal, turning every 2-3 minutes and basting with the reserved marinade, until the pork is charred at the edges and cooked through, about 10-12 minutes total.
Step 5
Serve hot off the grill, with extra marinade on the side if you like.
