Ingredients

  •  bay leaves 
  • cup coconut or 
  • cloves garlic crushed peeled
  • tablespoon cooking oil 
  • pounds boston butt pork shoulder cut into 1 1/2 inch cubes
  • 0.5 cup rice vinegar plus more to taste
  • 0.5 cup soya sauce 

Equipment

  • frying pan
  • measuring cup

Directions

  1. Heat oil in a large straight-sided sauté pan on very high heat until oil begins to smoke. Sear pork in batches, leaving plenty of open space in the pan, until a light crust forms, about 1 to 2 minutes per side. When last batch of pork is seared, return all pork to pan and add soy sauce, vinegar, coconut milk, bay leaves, and garlic. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a bare simmer and cook, covered, for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, or until pork is very tender but not completely falling apart.
  2. Remove pork from pan and set aside. Strain sauce into a fat separator or measuring cup and skim off fat, reserving for another use. Return sauce to pan, add about 1 tablespoon of vinegar, and cook on medium high heat until sauce reduces to less than 1 cup. Return pork to thickened sauce and add salt and vinegar to taste.
  3. Serve with rice and chopped scallions for garnish.
