Ingredients
- 2 pounds pork belly, cut into 1 ½-inch cubes
- 1 onion, peeled and chopped
- 6 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
- 1 cup palm vinegar
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 1 cup water
- 2 bay leaves
- ½ teaspoon peppercorns
- ¼ cup oyster sauce
- salt to taste
Instructions
- In a pan over medium heat, add the pork belly and cook, turning as needed, for about 3 to 5 minutes or until browned and begins to render fat.
- Add onions and garlic and cook until softened.
- Add vinegar and bring to a boil, uncovered and without stirring, for about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add soy sauce and water. Bring to a boil, skimming any scum that floats on top.
- Add bay leaves and peppercorns.
- Lower heat, cover, and cook until meat is fork-tender and liquid is reduced.
- Add oyster sauce and continue to cook for about 1 to 2 minutes.
- Season with salt if needed. Serve hot.
Notes
- Cut the meat in uniform size to ensure even cooking. To make slicing easier, freeze the pork belly for about 8 to 10 minutes or until slightly firm.
- Browning the meat adds depth of flavor. Pat the pork dry to ensure a good sear. Do not overcrowd the pan and use a wide pan or cook in batches as necessary.
- The recipe uses palm vinegar (Filipino brand); if you're substituting white distilled, which has a stronger taste, you might need to adjust the amount. To cook off the vinegar taste, allow it to boil, uncovered and without stirring, for a good few minutes before adding the soy sauce and water.
- As the flavors of the dish will concentrate as the sauce reduces, season with salt if needed at the end of cook time to accurately gauge taste.
