Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine pork, onions, garlic, bay leaves, salt, and pepper. Place in the refrigerator and marinate for about 30 minutes.
  2. In a wide, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Add meat mixture and cook, turning occasionally, until pork is lightly browned.
  3. Add vinegar and allow to boil, uncovered and without stirring, for about 3 to 5 minutes. 
  4. Add soy sauce and water and stir to combine. Allow to a boil for another 3 to 5 minutes. 
  5. Lower heat, cover, and simmer for about 40 to 50 minutes or until meat is fork-tender and sauce is reduced.
  6. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.

Notes

  • Cook off the strong vinegar flavor by allowing it to boil uncovered and without stirring for a good few minutes before adding the soy sauce and water.
  • If you want to season the dish with more salt than called for in the recipe, I suggest adding it during the last few minutes of cooking to correctly gauge taste. The flavor of the dish will concentrate as the sauce reduces.
