Pork Adobo

INGREDIENTS

• 2 pounds pork belly, cut into 2-inch cubes
• 1 medium onion, peeled and sliced thinly
• 1 head garlic, peeled and minced
• 2 bay leaves
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon oil
• 1 cup vinegar
• ½ cup soy sauce
• 1 cup water
• ½ teaspoon pepper

INSTRUCTIONS

1. In a bowl, combine pork, onions, garlic, pepper, bay leaves and salt. Place in the refrigerator and marinate for about 30 minutes.
2. In a wide, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Add meat mixture and cook, turning occasionally, until pork is lightly browned.
3. Add vinegar and allow to boil, uncovered and without stirring, for about 5 minutes. Add soy sauce and water and stir to combine. Allow to a boil for another 3 to 5 minutes.
