- Add the pork and brown on all sides, 4–5 minutes.
- Add the soy sauce, ground pepper, whole peppercorns, sugar, and bay leaves and stir to combine. Pour in the vinegar without stirring, then cover the pot with a lid and let come to a boil.
- Uncover the pot, gently stir the pork, then add the water. Cover again and simmer for 45–60 minutes, until the pork is fork-tender.
- Remove the lid and cook for 15 minutes more, until the sauce has reduced. The color should be dark brown and the sauce should taste slightly tangy.
- Serve the pork over steamed Jasmine rice.
