INGREDIENTS:
- 2 1/2 lbs pork cut in large hunks (you can use pork belly, shoulder, etc.)
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 1 head garlic, peeled
- 1 1/2 tsp whole peppercorns (or 1 tsp ground pepper if you prefer)
- 1 1/2 cup cider vinegar
- 3/4 cup water
- 6 bay leaves
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp- 1/4 cup brown sugar, as desired
- salt & pepper
- light sesame or peanut oil, to taste
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Add all ingredients to dutch oven or other large pot (except oil). Start with 1 Tbsp brown sugar.
- Bring to a boil and reduce to a gentle simmer. Simmer covered for 1-2 hours, without stirring (an old Filipino trick). or until the meat is fork tender. Remove meat and brown in oil or on a grill. Meanwhile, boil the sauce to thicken, adding more brown sugar until as sweet as you’d like. The sauce should reduce until thick and syrupy.
- When done reducing (this took about 30 minutes for me), return meat to the pot and serve over rice.
