Ingredients

• Pork shoulder - 500 grams
• Soy sauce - 60 ml
• Pineapple juice - 120 ml
• Brown sugar - 30 grams
• Garlic - 3 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 tablespoon, grated
• Green onions - 2, chopped
• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
• Black pepper - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Pineapple slices - 4 slices (for grilling)
• Cooked rice - 200 grams (for serving)

Steps

1. In a large bowl, combine soy sauce, pineapple juice, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, black pepper, and salt to create the marinade.
2. Cut the pork shoulder into chunks and add it to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the pork from the marinade, reserving the marinade for basting.
4. Grill the pork chunks for about 10-15 minutes on each side, basting with the reserved marinade every few minutes until the pork is cooked through and has a nice char.
5. In the last few minutes of grilling, add the pineapple slices to the grill and cook until caramelized, about 3-4 minutes per side.
6. Once cooked, remove the pork and pineapple from the grill and let the pork rest for a few minutes before slicing.
7. Serve the grilled pork on a bed of rice, topped with grilled pineapple and chopped green onions.
