Ingredients

  • 4-5 bulbs of garlic minced
  • 1 ½ pounds pork belly cut into 2-inch cubes
  • Oil for frying
  • 1 teaspoon cracked peppercorns
  • 2 pieces bay leaf
  • 2 cups Sprite
  • ⅓ cup white vinegar
  • ⅓ cup soy sauce

Instructions

  1. Mince the garlic and cut the pork belly into 2-inch cubes.
  2. Heat oil in a large pan. Sear the pork belly until lightly browned. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  3. Sauté the minced garlic until lightly browned, about 4-5 minutes. Add the peppercorns and bay leaf, then cook for 1 to 2 more minutes.
  4. Return the pork to the pan and pour in the Sprite. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover, and simmer until the pork is tender, about 20-30 minutes.
  5. Add the vinegar and soy sauce. Cook for another 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce reduces to your desired thickness.
  6. Serve over rice and enjoy!
