  1. Trim the excess fat from the pork then cut into large bite-sized pieces. Season with freshly cracked pepper, to taste. 
  2. Heat the oil in a Dutch oven until shimmering.
  3. Add the pork and brown on all sides, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Add the garlic and saute for 1 minute, stirring often. 
  5. Add the soy sauce, vinegar, bay leaf, and water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and cover.
