Steps:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger, vegetable oil, gochujang and garlic. Pour into a large resealable plastic bag and add the pork, moving the bag around to ensure the marinade coats all of the pork. Seal the bag and refrigerate for 1 1/2 hours.
- After 1 1/2 hours, remove the bag with the meat from the refrigerator and let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. If using wooden skewers, soak in water at this point.
- Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
- Remove the pork from the marinade and discard the marinade. Thread 5 to 6 pork cubes on each skewer. Season the pork on all sides with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Grill and flip to cook on all sides until cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Serve immediately with Sunny's Baked Pineapple Rice (or cover with aluminum foil until serving).
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Put the rice and pineapple in an 8-by-8-inch baking dish. In a medium pot on high heat, add the coconut milk, butter, salt, some black pepper and 1 cup water. Cook until the butter melts and the mixture is just below simmering. Pour over the rice and immediately cover tightly with aluminum foil. Bake until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed, 35 to 40 minutes.
- Add the almonds and scallions, fluff with a fork and serve warm.

Steps:
- Combine pork, soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, sesame oil, lime juice, Sriracha, ginger, and garlic in a large resealable bag. Seal and shake up to combine well. Refrigerate for 1 hour, turning occasionally.
- While the pork is marinating, soak skewers in water for about 20 minutes prior to using them. That will help the skewers to not burn up when exposed to the flame.
- Preheat an outdoor grill or indoor grill pan to medium-high heat and lightly grease the grates with a small amount of vegetable oil.
- Thread the skewers with marinated pork, pineapple, and red pepper, alternating back and forth; discard the marinade.
- Cook skewers on the preheated grill until they obtain grill marks and the pork is no longer pink, about 2 minutes per side. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.

Steps:
- Heat the sesame oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the sesame seeds and cook, stirring, until golden, about 1 minute. Stir in the rice, then add 1 3/4 cups water; bring to a boil and cook until most of the water evaporates, about 8 minutes. Cover, reduce the heat to low and cook until tender, about 12 more minutes; remove from the heat and let stand until ready to serve.
- Meanwhile, preheat the broiler. Thread the pork onto 4 long metal skewers, leaving space between each piece; season with salt and pepper. Place the asparagus on a baking sheet and toss with the vegetable oil and ponzu sauce. Push the asparagus to the side of the pan and add the pork skewers.
- Broil the pork and asparagus, turning once or twice, until the pork is browned and cooked through and the asparagus is charred in spots, 8 to 10 minutes. Divide among plates and drizzle the pork with the pan juices; serve with the sesame rice and lemon wedges.

PORK AND PINEAPPLE KEBABS WITH SWEET-AND-SOUR SAUCE
Steps:
- In a large bowl whisk together the red-wine vinegar, the garlic paste, and the red pepper flakes, add the vegetable oil in a stream, whisking, and whisk the marinade until it is emulsified. Add the pork, stirring to coat it with the marinade, and let it marinate, covered and chilled, for at least 6 hours or overnight.
- In a bowl whisk together the ketchup, the distilled vinegar, the sugar, the soy sauce, the salt, and the sesame oil until the sugar is dissolved and reserve the sauce.
- Drain the pork, reserving the marinade, and thread it and the pineapple, alternating them, onto the skewers, using 4 pieces of pork and 3 pieces of pineapple on each skewer. Brush the kebabs with some of the reserved marinade and grill them on a rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals, basting them for the first 10 minutes with the reserved marinade and turning them, for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the pork is just cooked through but still juicy. Brush the kebabs with the reserved sweet-and sour sauce and grill them, turning them, for 2 minutes more. (Discard any remaining marinade; do not serve it as an accompaniment.)
Tips:
- Choose the right cut of pork: Pork shoulder, also known as pork butt, is the best cut for kebabs as it is flavorful and tender when cooked slowly. This allows the spices and marinade to penetrate the meat and enhances its flavor.
- Tenderize the pork: To make the pork even more tender, you can use a meat mallet to pound it before marinating. This helps break down the muscle fibers and allows the marinade to penetrate more deeply.
- Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade is key to infusing the pork with flavor. Use a combination of spices, herbs, and acidic ingredients like lemon juice or yogurt to create a marinade that will enhance the natural flavor of the pork.
- Marinate the pork for at least 30 minutes: The longer you marinate the pork, the more flavorful it will be. However, do not marinate the pork for more than 24 hours as this can make the meat tough.
- Cook the kebabs over medium heat: Cooking the kebabs over medium heat will help to prevent them from burning and ensure that they are cooked evenly throughout.
- Baste the kebabs with the marinade while cooking: This will help to keep the kebabs moist and flavorful. You can also use a barbecue sauce or glaze to baste the kebabs.
- Serve the kebabs with a variety of sides: Pineapple rice, grilled vegetables, and tzatziki sauce are all great options for serving with pork kebabs.
Conclusion:
Pacific Pork Kebabs with Pineapple Rice is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer barbecue or potluck. The pork kebabs are marinated in a flavorful blend of spices and herbs, then grilled to perfection. The pineapple rice is a sweet and savory side dish that complements the kebabs perfectly.
