Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Cut the 1 lb pork shoulder into 1-inch cubes. In a bowl, mix the 3 tbsp soy sauce and 2 tbsp brown sugar; toss the pork to coat. Let sit for 10 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Thread the pork onto skewers, about 4-5 pieces each. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

  3. Step 3

    Grill the skewers for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until charred at the edges and cooked through (no pink inside).

  4. Step 4

    Meanwhile, chop the 1 cup pineapple chunks and 1 medium red onion into small pieces; mix together in a bowl to make a quick relish.

  5. Step 5

    Serve the hot skewers topped with the pineapple relish and 0.5 cup chopped cilantro. Squeeze lime over if you have it.
