2 lbs. boneless pork, cut into serving pieces
3-4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup vinegar
1/4 teaspoon black peppercorns, cracked
3 tablespoons light soy sauce
3 tablespoons water
I bay leaf
3/4 teaspoon salt or desired amount to taste

Method:
Combine all ingredients in a glass or stainless steel pan and bring to a boil over medium heat, uncovered. Reduce heat to medium low. Cover and simmer for about 1 hour or until meat is tender.
