Instructions:

1. Marinate the Pork:

   • In a large bowl, combine the pork belly, soy sauce, half of the minced garlic, and peppercorns. Massage the marinade into the meat.
   • Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes to an hour (overnight for best results).

2. Sauté the Aromatics:

   • In a wide, heavy-bottomed pan or a Dutch oven, heat the cooking oil over medium heat.
   • Add the sliced onions and sauté until translucent.
   • Add the remaining minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.

3. Cook the Pork:

   • Add the marinated pork to the pan, including the marinade. Allow the pork to brown on all sides.

4. Simmer with Vinegar and Bay Leaves:

   • Pour in the white vinegar and allow it to boil for a few minutes to cook off the strong vinegar taste.
   • Add the bay leaves and water. Stir to combine.

5. Simmer Until Tender:

   • Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pan and let it simmer until the pork is tender. This may take about 40-50 minutes.

6. Adjust Seasoning:

   • Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning. You can add more soy sauce or vinegar according to your preference.
