Instructions
- In a bowl, combine pork, vinegar, soy sauce, and pineapple juice. Marinate in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. Drain meat from marinade, reserving liquid.
- In a wide pot over medium heat, heat oil. Add onions and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until limp.
- Add pork belly and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned.
- Add reserved marinade and bring to a boil without stirring for about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add peppercorns and bay leaf.
- Add tausi, pineapple chunks, and banana blossoms. Stir to combine.
- Lower heat, cover, and simmer until pork is tender.
- Add brown sugar and stir until dissolved. Season with salt to taste.
- Continue to cook until liquid is reduced and begins to render fat. Serve hot.
Notes
- You’ll use the liquid in the pineapple can to braise the meat, so make sure the fruit is packed in juice and not heavy syrup.
- Do not marinate the meat for an extended period, as the acidity of the vinegar and pineapple juice will break down the meat's protein fibers, altering the texture.
- Rinse the tausi and drain well; they're usually packed in salty brine.
