Ingredients

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 pieces
2 tablespoons crushed garlic
2 bay leaves, torn
freshly ground black pepper
1 cup white vinegar
0.25 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 cloves garlic, smashed

Instructions

In a stock pot, combine pork and chicken. Rub with crushed garlic and torn bay leaf. Season lightly with pepper, then coat with vinegar and soy sauce. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight.
Transfer the meat and marinade to a cast iron casserole or Dutch oven and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer until the meat becomes tender, approximately 30 minutes. Add water as needed to maintain the sauce's consistency.
Separate the liquid from the meat, reserving the liquid and discarding the bay leaves. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the pork and chicken on all sides. Reduce heat, add the remaining 2 cloves of smashed garlic, and cook while stirring for another 2 minutes. Pour the reserved cooking liquid back in and simmer until the sauce thickens slightly. Serve immediately.
