Ingredients
- 2 lbs pork shoulder, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup banana ketchup
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup lemon-lime soda

Cooking Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix pineapple juice, soy sauce, banana ketchup, brown sugar, garlic, black pepper, salt, and lemon-lime soda.
- Add the cubed pork to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated.
- Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. The longer, the better!
- Thread the marinated pork onto the soaked bamboo skewers, leaving a little space between each piece.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 375-400°F).
- Grill the skewers for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the pork is fully cooked and has a nice char.
- Brush any remaining marinade over the skewers during grilling for extra flavor. But hey, keep it safe – don’t go overboard with that marinade brush!
- Remove from grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

Pair these bad boys with a bowl of garlic rice and atchara (pickled papaya) for the full Filipino experience! Remember: patience while marinating is key. Happy grilling! 🥳
