Instructions
-
In a bowl, combine soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, sugar, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Mix well to create the marinade.

Add the thinly sliced pork loin to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover the bowl and marinate the pork in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or ideally overnight for the flavors to develop.

When ready to cook, heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
-
Remove the marinated pork from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for about 15 minutes.

Once the skillet is hot, carefully add the marinated pork slices in a single layer. Be cautious of any splattering due to the marinade.
-
Cook the pork tapa for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and caramelized, with a deep brown color.
-
Once the pork tapa is cooked to your desired level of doneness, remove it from the skillet and transfer to a serving dish.
-
Serve the Spicy Pork Tapa hot, garnished with sliced green onions or fresh cilantro, alongside steamed rice and a side of pickled vegetables.
