Lunch: Mary Jane's Pork Adobo

Ingredients

2/3 cup soy sauce
5 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon finely chopped ginger
1 tablespoon whole peppercorns
8 cloves peeled garlic, crushed
5 bay leaves
Salt
3 pounds pork (shoulder, loin or belly), cut into 2-inch pieces
1/2 cup white vinegar
Freshly steamed rice, for serving

Instructions

Combine 1/2 cup water, the soy sauce, sugar, ginger, peppercorns, garlic, bay leaves and some salt in a cast-iron or flame-proof casserole pot. Add the pork and let marinate for at least 1 hour. Make sure that all the meat is well covered with the marinade. Preheat a barrel oven or regular oven to 350 degrees F. Place the pot over high heat and bring to a boil. Boil for five minutes, and then stir in the vinegar. Transfer to the oven and roast until the pork is tender, about 1 hour, stirring gently occasionally. Serve hot with freshly steamed rice.
NotesCook's Note: Boiling the pork initially on the stove top without the vinegar makes the pork tenderize more quickly.
