Ingredients

1 ¼ pounds boneless pork loin roast, cut into 2-inch pieces
1 ¼ pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
2 teaspoons salt, or amount to taste
½ tablespoon black peppercorns, coarsely ground
2 tablespoons crushed garlic
2 bay leaves, torn
1 cup white vinegar
¼ cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 cloves garlic, smashed

Steps:

Season pork and chicken with salt and pepper and place in a stock pot. Rub with crushed garlic and torn bay leaf, and coat with vinegar and soy sauce. Cover, and marinate in the refrigerator at least 2 hours or overnight.
Bring meat and marinating liquid to a boil in a cast iron casserole or Dutch oven. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook until meat is tender, about 30 minutes. If necessary, add water to prevent sauce from drying out.
Strain liquid from meat and set aside; discard bay leaves. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the pork and chicken on all sides; reduce heat and stir in remaining 2 cloves of smashed garlic. Cook and stir for 2 minutes more. Pour in reserved cooking liquid, and continue simmering until sauce is slightly thickened. Serve hot.
