Cooking instruction summary:

Procedures 1 In a medium bowl, mix together char siu sauce, pineapple juice, garlic, salt, and black pepper. 2 Score the skin of the pork diagonally every 2-inches, repeat in the opposite direction, making a diamond pattern.

Remove to a cutting board, let rest for 10 to 15 minutes, then slice and serve.
