Ingredients

  • 2 pounds pork shoulder, cut into 2-inch chunks
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil
  • 7 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 medium onion, halved and sliced
  • ¼ cup + 1 tablespoon soy sauce (Silver Swan Lauriat brand)
  • 1 teaspoon ground pepper
  • ⅛ teaspoon black peppercorns
  • 2 teaspoons brown sugar
  • 3 bay leaves
  • ½ cup vinegar (Datu Puti brand)
  • 1¼ cup water

Directions

  1. 1

    Add oil to a hot skillet over medium-high flame. Add pork and cook until browned on all sides, 5-6 minutes. 

  2. 2

    Add garlic and onion and sauté until fragrant and soft, 2-4 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add soy sauce, pepper, peppercorns, sugar, and bay leaves and stir until well-mixed. Add vinegar (DO NOT MIX) and cover the skillet with a lid. Wait until contents reach a boil before stirring.

  4. 4

    Once the liquid reaches a boil, gently stir and add water. Cover with lid again and simmer for 1 hour or until the pork is very tender.

  5. 5

    Remove the lid and cook for 15 minutes to reduce the sauce. The color should be a deep, dark brown and taste slightly tangy.

  6. 6

    Serve with steamed rice.
