Pork Adobo

1/2 K. pork liempo, cut into 1x1 size
1/4 cup vinegar
2 tbsp. soy sauce
3 cups water
1/1/2 head garlic, chopped
1 tsp cracked peppercorn
2 pcs. bay leaves
1 tbsp. cooking oil

After washing the pork, put together in a bowl the pork, soy sauce, vinegar, 3/4 of the garlic, peppercorn and bay leaves. Mix and marinate for 20-30 minutes.

Put the mixture in a saucepan and cook slightly covered, adding water until desired tenderness is achieved. Add some salt to taste. When the meat is tender, in a seperate pan, brown the rest of the garlic in cooking oil. Strain the sauce off the pork and add the pork in with the garlic. Fry until desired crispiness. Pour in the sauce and simmer for about 3 minutes.
