Ingredients
- 2 pounds pork belly (or pork side or pork shoulder, cut into chunks)
- 3 pounds chicken pieces, usually skin on
- 1/2 cup minced garlic cloves (fresh is best)
- 1 1/2 cups vinegar (Usually milder vinegars are used: cane, palm, or apple cider but I like white)
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1 bay leaf
- 2 tablespoons salt (or fish sauce)
- 4 medium ripe tomatoes, chopped (optional)
How to Make
-
Step 1: Place the pork and chicken into a large pot (not aluminum!). Sprinkle the garlic over the pork and chicken.
-
Step 2: Combine the vinegar and water and pour into the pot. Add bay leaf and salt or fish sauce.
-
Step 3: Bring to a boil without stirring, reduce heat, and simmer until the meat is tender, about 30 minutes.
-
Step 4: Remove the meat from pot, reserving any liquid, and remove bay leaf.
-
Step 5: Heat oil in a large pan or wok and brown the pork and chicken in batches. Place browned meat into a serving dish.
-
Step 6: Mix the soy sauce and reserved liquid (You can choose to reduce it for a stronger flavor if you like) and pour over the meat.
-
Step 7: Serve over hot cooked rice and top with chopped tomatoes, if desired.
