Notes
- Cut the meat in uniform size to ensure even cooking.
- Sear the pork on medium-high heat until lightly browned. This extra step of caramelizing the meat brings tons of flavor.
- Allow the vinegar to boil uncovered without stirring for a few minutes before adding the soy sauce to cook off the strong acid taste.
