# Guide to Cooking:
01 -
Combine brown sugar, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, jalapenos, garlic, ground ginger, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Add pork cubes and ensure they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours or preferably overnight to enhance flavor.
02 -
Pour the remaining marinade into a small saucepan. Heat over medium flame until gently simmering, stirring occasionally until the sauce thickens to desired consistency. Remove from heat and set aside.
03 -
Grill or pan-fry the marinated pork cubes over medium-high heat until cooked through and edges are slightly caramelized, approximately 10 to 15 minutes.
04 -
During the final minutes of cooking, brush the pork with the thickened jalapeno sauce to enhance flavor and glaze the meat.
05 -
Plate the pork immediately while hot and serve as desired.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
Marinating overnight intensifies the taste. Adjust jalapeno quantity to control heat level. Simmering sauce thickens and concentrates flavors.
