Shout-out to u/fr33brd for the recipe! It came out exactly how I wanted it, the flavors were savory, sweet, soy sauce and incredible. Used chicken thighs instead of pork but I'm sure pork would make this even better. Grilled over Fogo lump charcoal, basted with the marinade which I reduced on the stovetop. I added a few teaspoons of MSG but the recipe is as follows below:
From U/fr33brd
Try this marinade. After years of trying different recipes I combined, reduced and narrowed it down to these ingredients.
1.5 lb of pork butt (or chicken) sliced into thin pieces
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup brown sugar
7 garlic cloves minced (or more)
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp calamansi juice or lemon juice
1/2 cup lemon-lime soda (or pineapple
juice)
1/2 cup banana ketchup"

Even has the Sprite/7-up. Definitely authentic.
Looks great! Now I just need to find some banana ketchup. I’ve been interested in trying it since I heard about it years ago.
