1 lb pork shoulder (cut into 1 1/2-inch strips)
3 garlic (grated on a microplane)
1 inch ginger (grated on a microplane)
1/2 yellow onion (grated)
1/2 asian pear (peeled and grated)

Directions:

In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients except the pork and mix well to combine. Add the pork and combine thoroughly to distribute marinade evenly. Marinade pork for 24 hours.
Strain the marinade and bring to a simmer until slightly thickened, 5-10 minutes.
Grill the pork on all sides over medium-high heat, basting with marinade as you go, until well charred on all sides.
Cook to an internal temperature of 140°F and let rest for 3-5 until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F before serving.
