Note

For a richer flavor, you can add a splash of sesame oil at the end.

If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or chili garlic sauce.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of water to refresh the sauce.

You can substitute pork butt with pork loin or chicken breast for a leaner option.

Fresh pineapple can be used instead of canned, but reserve some of the juice or add a bit of water if needed for the sauce.
