Pork Marinade Preparation
- 1
Marinate the Pork
In a bowl, combine soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, minced shallot, and black pepper. Add the pork shoulder and coat it evenly with the marinade. Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for best flavor.

Grill the Pork
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush the grill grates with vegetable oil. Remove the pork from the marinade and place it on the grill. Cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Remove from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
