⏱ Prep: 0 min ⏱ Cook: 400 min

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp canola oil
  • 1 onion, peeled and sliced thinly
  • 1 head garlic, peeled and minced
  • 1 pork shoulder or belly, cut into 2-inch cubes
  • 1 chicken, cut into serving parts
  • 1 cup vinegar
  • 0.5 cup soy sauce
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 0 salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Put large pan - medium heat and warm up some oil. Add onions and garlic and Cook it until softened.

  2. Add pork and cook, turning as needed, until golden at the edges. Cook, stirring now and then, for about 7 to 10 minutes.

  3. Add chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until it gets lightly browned and juices run clear.

  4. Add vinegar and bring up to a rolling boil, uncovered and without stirring, for about 2 to 3 minutes.

  5. Add soy sauce, water, and bay leaves. Continue to boil for about 2 to 3 minutes, skimming off foam that floats on top.

  6. Lower heat, cover, and cook for about 30 to 40 minutes or until meat is tender and sauce is reduced.

  7. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve while hot.

  8. For even cooking, cut the meat in uniform size.

  9. Allow the vinegar to boil uncovered and without stirring to cook off the strong acid taste.
