3–3 1/2 lbs. pork shoulder, cut into bite-size pieces
1/2 C. white vinegar
1/4 C. soy sauce
10 peppercorns, or lots of ground black pepper
5–10 cloves garlic (depending on your love of garlic)
3 bay leaves
Oil for browning


Heat oil in a large pot and brown the pork pieces in a single layer. (You may have to brown it in two batches.)

Add the garlic and sauté for a minute. Add the soy sauce, vinegar, bay leaf, and pepper.

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 45 minutes, or until the pork is tender (You don't want the pork to dry out, so if the liquid falls below the meat level, add water as needed—1/2 cup at a time.)

When the pork is tender and you have the desired amount of sauce, serve over rice.

[NOTE: the traditional recipe uses equal parts vinegar and soy sauce, but Jackie's interpretation is more vinegary!]
