Instructions
Heat oil in a large pot. Add the onion and cook until translucent. Next, in goes the garlic, bay leaves and peppercorns. Stir and cook for about 30 seconds before adding water, vinegar, soy sauce and sugar. Bring to a full rolling boil without stirring.
Once boiling, pour Mang Tomas sauce. Stir, then gently place the lechon pieces.
Stir again to fully submerge the meat into the liquid. Continue cooking for 5-10 minutes to let the flavors marry. Taste and adjust seasoning. If you want to reduce the sauce, go ahead and cook it a little longer.
