Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons crushed garlic
• 1 cup white vinegar
• 2 cloves garlic, smashed
• 2 bay leaves, torn
• 0.25 cup soy sauce
• 1.25 pounds boneless pork loin roast, cut into 2-inch pieces
• 1.25 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, trimmed and cut into 2-inch piece

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Place pork and chicken into a stock pot. Rub with crushed garlic and torn bay leaf, season lightly with pepper, and coat with vinegar and soy sauce. Cover, and marinate in the refrigerator at least 2 hours or overnight.

Step 2

Bring meat and marinating liquid to a boil in a cast iron casserole or Dutch oven. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook until meat is tender, about 30 minutes. If necessary, add water to prevent sauce from drying out.

Step 3

Strain liquid from meat and set aside; discard bay leaves. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the pork and chicken on all sides; reduce heat and stir in remaining 2 cloves of smashed garlic. Cook and stir for 2 minutes more. Pour in reserved cooking liquid, and continue simmering until sauce is slightly thickened. Serve hot.
