Making a Home Made Tocino

Ingredients: 

1 kg pork shoulder (preferably boneless and cut into thin strips)

1 cup sprite / 7-up

1 cup pineapple juice

2 cups brown sugar

6 tablespoonsketchup (banana/tomato)

4 tablespoons soy sauce (preferably light, if not available put 3 tbsp of water to produce lighter output)

2 cloves garlic (minced) or 1 tbsp garlic powder

5 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground black pepper

Procedures:

1. Mix all the ingredients in a bowl with cover. Make sure that all the meat are covered with the marinade. 
2. Store it in the fridge (preferably the chiller) for at least 2 days to cure the meat properly. 
3. Cooking the meat should be easy, just put it in the pan, pour some of the marinade and few tablespoons of water. 
4. Let it simmer until all the liquid evaporates.
5. Put some cooking oil and fry it. 
6. Serve with fried rice or boiled rice, tomatoes and egg. 

We've conduct this making of tocino during this second semester of second year college at Cavite State University.
