- Preparation: 250 min
- Cooking: 10 min
- Makes: 1 serving (206 g)
- Difficulty: Easy
- Diets: Gluten-free, Dairy-free
- Contains: pork
Ingredients
- 150 g Pork shoulder, raw
- 20 g Sugar, brown
- 1.5 g Salt
- 1 g Sazón seasoning
- 5 g Garlic, raw
- 20 g Pineapple juice
- 8 g Vegetable oil
Method
- Slice the pork shoulder thinly.
- Combine the pork with the brown sugar, salt, annatto seasoning (using sazón here for its colour), garlic and pineapple juice; massage well and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight for the best flavour and colour.
- Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat.
- Fry the marinated pork for 3-4 minutes per side, adding a splash of water if it starts to caramelize too fast, until cooked through and glazed with a sticky, sweet-red coating.
- Continue cooking until any liquid has reduced to a glaze clinging to the pork.
- Serve hot, traditionally with fried rice and a fried egg.
