Ingredients




1 1/4 pounds boneless pork shoulder cut 2" cubes
1 cup water
1/2 cup white vinegar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
6 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 teaspoon freshly-ground black pepper
4 teaspoons vegetable oil
3 pcs bay leaves

Preparation

1 On a rack in broiling pan, broil pork 6 inches from heat source until rare, 5 to 6 minutes; transfer to 3-quart saucepan. Add water, vinegar, soy sauce,bay leaves, garlic, and pepper and stir well to combine; bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat, cover, and let simmer until pork is fork tender, 30 to 40 minutes. 2 Using slotted spoon, transfer pork to plate; set aside. Increase heat to high and cook pan juices, stirring occasionally, until liquid is reduced by half; remove from heat and reserve. 3 In a 10-inch nonstick skillet heat oil over medium-high heat; add pork cubes and cook, turning meat frequently, until well browned on all sides, 4 to 5 minutes. Add reserved pan juices and stir well; cook until sauce is heated, about 1 minute.
