Ingredients

  • 2 lbs Pork belly cut into 2-inch cubes
  • 3 pcs Potatoes regular size, cut into small squares
  • 1 pc Onion peeled and sliced thinly, optional
  • 1 head Garlic peeled and minced
  • 2 pcs Bay leaves
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • ½ teaspoon Pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Oil
  • 1 cup Vinegar
  • ½ cup Soy sauce
  • 2 cups Water
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  • In a bowl, combine soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, and pepper. Mix well and marinate the pork belly for at least 1 hour.
  • After 1 hour, add the remaining ingredients into the bowl with marinated pork except for oil and potatoes.
  • Now heat the pan and pour the pork belly mixture into the pan, cover and bring to boil. Lower the heat when the mixture is boiling already.
  • Simmer for 40 minutes or until the pork is tender. Then add potatoes and simmer again for another 5-10 minutes. You can add more water if the pork belly is not yet tender after an hour.

  • Set aside the pork and potatoes, and medium fry first the potatoes in a separate pan and set aside. Next, cook the pork in the same pan.
  • Once the pork is cooked already, pour the sauce into the pan and add the medium fried potatoes and simmer for 2 minutes.
  • Serve while hot! Share and Enjoy!
