Step 1

In a large bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, soy sauce, calamansi juice (or lime juice), ketchup, brown sugar, and soda. Pour half into a separate bowl, cover, and refrigerate until you are ready to grill.

Step 2

Add the cut pork pieces to the large bowl with remaining half of the marinade. Marinate for at least 3 hours or up to overnight.

Step 3

Once you are ready to cook the pork, fire up your grill to medium-high heat. While the grill preheats, skewer the pork onto bamboo skewers or stainless steel metal skewers.

Step 4

Grill the pork skewers for approximately 3 to 5 minutes on one side, flip over, baste with the marinade that you had set aside, then grill for another 3 to 5 minutes on the other side.

Step 5

Let the meat rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with optional chopped parsley or cilantro, if desired.
