| 1. Combine both sugars, the garlic, salt, beet powder (or food colouring), and soy sauce in a very large resealable zipper top bag (2 gallons) or a stain-proof container with a tight fitting lid. | 2. Close the bag or container tightly and shake to combine ingredients evenly. | 3. Open the bag or container, drop the pork slices in and reseal. | 4. If using a bag, squeeze the bag to thoroughly coat all of the pork with the sugar and salt mixture. | 5. If using a container, use your hands to move the pork around to be sure it is thoroughly coated in the mixture then close the container tightly. | 6. Put the bag or container in the refrigerator and let it cure for at least 2 days before using, but up to 4. | 7. Alternatively, you can put the container or bag directly into the freezer (letting it sit for at least a week before using) for up to 6 months. | 8. Whether using fresh from the refrigerator or directly from the freezer, remove the amount of tocino you want to cook and let it sit in a colander for several minutes to drain any excess liquid. | 9. You may either grill the tocino over high, direct heat, or pan fry in batches. | 10. To pan fry, heat about 2 teaspoons of oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. | 11. Fry the pieces until cooked through and browned with little charred bits, about 2-3 minutes per side. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
