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:
- Combine 1/4 cup oil, garlic, soy sauce, salt and black pepper in a medium bowl.

Tips:
- Choose the right pork: For the best results, use a tender cut of pork, such as tenderloin or loin chops. These cuts will cook quickly and evenly on the skewers.
- Marinate the pork: Marinating the pork in a mixture of pineapple juice, soy sauce, and brown sugar will help to tenderize the meat and add flavor.
- Use fresh pineapple: Fresh pineapple is best for this recipe, as it is sweeter and more flavorful than canned pineapple.
- Cook the kebabs over medium heat: Cooking the kebabs over medium heat will help to prevent the pork from drying out.
- Baste the kebabs with the sweet and sour sauce: Basting the kebabs with the sweet and sour sauce while they are cooking will help to keep them moist and flavorful.
