  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 1 onion, peeled and chopped
  • 1 head garlic, peeled and minced

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a pot over medium heat, heat oil.
  2. Add onions, garlic, and turmeric and cook until softened.
  3. Add pork and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly seared and evenly colored with turmeric.
  4. Add vinegar and bring to a boil. Cook, uncovered and without stirring, for about 4 to 5 minutes.

  6. Lower heat, cover and cook for about 50 minutes to 1 hour or until pork is fork-tender and sauce is reduced.

  • Pat dry the meat well so it will sear properly.
  • Allow the vinegar to boil uncovered and without stirring for a few minutes before adding the soy sauce and water to cook off the strong vinegar taste.
