• Let the pork rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Recipe Variations
• Add red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
• Replace half of the brown sugar with honey.
• Add sliced onions for extra sweetness.
• Substitute apple cider for the chicken broth for a fruity variation.
• Use gluten-free soy sauce if needed.

Storage and Reheating
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
