Easy Pork Hamonado is a dish made of pork, pineapple juice, and sugar. Looking at is main ingredients, you will know right away that this dish is has a sweet and sour flavor to it. Warm white rice is the best thing to eat this with.
I made this dish using fresh pineapple juice. I got a nice, sweet pineapple juice from the grocery and this dish was one of the ideas that popped into my head.
Canned pineapple juice is a good alternative ingredient for the fresh pineapple juice.
You can also use a cup of water and add half a beef cube as a substitute for beef broth. You may use white sugar or brown sugar for this recipe – whatever you prefer.
The final few steps are the easiest. Simply add sugar, salt, and pepper and then let them all cook for a few more minutes. Vary the amount of the salt and pepper according to your taste.
Pork shoulders are the best part to use for this dish since it contains fat which keeps the meat moist. Use lean pork cuts if less fat is preferred. Pork chops can be used too.
