Embark on a culinary journey to savor the delectable Soy-Glazed Pork and Pineapple Skewers, a harmonious blend of sweet, savory, and tangy flavors that will tantalize your taste buds. Succulent pork slices and juicy pineapple chunks, skillfully skewered and glazed with a tantalizing soy-based marinade, create a symphony of flavors that will transport you to a world of culinary delight. Accompanying this main course are three equally enticing recipes: a refreshing Pineapple Salsa, a creamy Avocado Sauce, and a zesty Cilantro Lime Sauce. Each sauce adds a unique dimension to the skewers, allowing you to customize your culinary experience and cater to your taste preferences.
SOY-GLAZED PORK AND PINEAPPLE SKEWERS
Steps:
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water at least 30 minutes before cooking.
- Using a serrated knife, trim the pineapple and cut off the skin. Cut into 1 1/2-inch-thick rounds and then cut into chunks around the core; discard the core.
- Cut the onion in half vertically and then separate the onion into 2-to-3-layer portions. Cut the portions into 1 1/2-inch pieces.
- Preheat a grill or large grill pan over medium-high heat. Thread the pork, pineapple and red onion onto the skewers. Brush with oil and sprinkle with salt. Grill the skewers until lightly charred on the bottom, about 3 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce with the vinegar, agave nectar and sesame oil.
- Flip the skewers and brush with some of the soy mixture. Continue to grill, flipping every 2 minutes and brushing with the soy mixture, until lightly charred all over and the pork is just cooked, 6 to 8 minutes longer. Transfer to a platter, sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and serve.

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.

- Thread 6 wooden skewers with alternating pieces of pineapple and pork.
- Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high. Drizzle the skewers with oil and sprinkle with salt. Grill the skewers, rotating as needed and basting with any leftover mango sauce as you rotate, until the pork is cooked through and lightly charred at the edges, about 10 minutes. Serve hot.

Steps:
- Cut the pork into cubes. Heat the sugar and vinegar in a pan over a low heat until the sugar melts. Add the fish sauce and cool. Tip in the pork and mix well so that all the cubes are covered in sauce.
- Heat the barbecue. If you are using coals, wait until they turn white. If you are indoors, heat a griddle pan. Thread the pork and pineapple onto skewers, alternating pieces with the pepper and spring onion.
- Barbecue or griddle the skewers for 3-4 mins each side (you may need to cook them for longer if griddling). Sprinkle with coriander, if you like, then serve with rice or slide into pitta breads.

Steps:
- Mix together the drained pineapple juice, brown sugar, soy sauce, and garlic powder together in a large plastic zipper bag, and smush the bag a few times with your hands to mix the marinade and dissolve the sugar. Place the pork chops into the marinade, squeeze out any air in the bag, seal it, and refrigerate overnight. Reserve the pineapple rings.
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat, and lightly oil the grate.
- Remove the chops from the marinade, shaking off excess, and grill until browned, the meat is no longer pink inside, and the meat shows good grill marks, 5 to 8 minutes per side. Brush several times with marinade and let the marinade cook onto the surface of the meat. Discard excess marinade. While the meat is grilling, place 4 pineapple rings onto the grill, and allow to cook until hot and the slices show grill marks; serve the chops topped with the grilled pineapple rings.

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:
- Use fresh pineapple for the best flavor. If using canned pineapple, be sure to drain it well.
- Cut the pork and pineapple into uniform pieces so that they cook evenly.
- Marinate the pork in the soy sauce mixture for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This will help to tenderize the pork and infuse it with flavor.
- Cook the skewers over medium heat so that the pork has time to cook through without burning.
- Baste the skewers with the remaining marinade while they are cooking. This will help to keep them moist and flavorful.
- Serve the skewers immediately with rice, noodles, or your favorite dipping sauce.
Conclusion:
These soy-glazed pork and pineapple skewers are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for a summer cookout or party. The pork is tender and flavorful, and the pineapple adds a sweet and tangy note. The skewers are also easy to customize to your own liking. Try adding different vegetables, such as bell peppers, onions, or mushrooms. You can also change the flavor of the marinade by using a different type of soy sauce or adding different spices.
