Notes
- Cut the meat in uniform size to ensure even cooking.
- Sear the meat until lightly browned to enhance flavor and add color.
- Allow the vinegar to boil uncovered and without stirring before adding the water to cook off the strong acid taste.
- Don't skip the sugar! The sweetness helps balance the acidity and saltiness of the dish.
