Yield: 10 servings (serving size: about 1/2 cup)

CL Comments: Depending on your preference, you can use another cut of pork or even all chicken thighs. This is a popular luau offering and
is a national dish of the Philippines. Let your guests know that there are peppercorns in the sauce so they can avoid biting into them. The
sauce has a strong vinegar flavor that is balanced by the pepper, soy sauce, and garlic.
Amy's Comments: I was leary when I poured the entire bottle of vinegar in, but my husband and I both LOVED this!! It was definitely tangy but over
some brown basmati the tang was cut some and it was just yummy and something different! Also, for a dinner portion, this made like 5
servings for us. Oh and of course, I didn't use the bay leaf. You know how I feel about those! ;)
