Ingredients
- 1 kg pork belly, cut into 2-inch cubes
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/2 cup white vinegar
- 1 cup water
- 6 cloves garlic, crushed
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine pork, soy sauce, garlic, bay leaves, and peppercorns. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Heat oil in a pot over medium heat. Remove pork from marinade (reserve marinade) and sear until lightly browned.
- Pour in reserved marinade and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes.
- Add vinegar. Do not stir. Simmer uncovered for 10 minutes.
- Season with salt if needed. Continue simmering until sauce thickens and pork is tender, about 10 more minutes.
- Serve hot over steamed rice.
Tips
- Use a mix of pork belly and shoulder for less fat.
- Refrigerate leftovers for up to 3 days; flavor improves overnight.
- For a thicker sauce, simmer longer uncovered.
