Humba

Ingredients:

• 1/2 kilo pork belly, cut in cubes
• 1 tablespoon garlic, crushed 
• 1 small onion; chopped
• 1/3 cup vinegar
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 3 bay leaves
• 1 cup rice water 
• 1/4 tablespoon ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon salted black beans (optional)
• Cooking oil

Pork Humba Cooking Instructions:

Marinate pork in soy sauce and pepper for 1 hour. 

Saute garlic and onion. Add pork from the marinade and bay leaves. Stir fry for few minutes until pork starts to render its oily fat. Add rice water, then bring to a boil until most of the liquid has evaporated. Add vinegar but do not stir in order not to over sour the flavor. Boil for few minutes, then add the brown sugar stirring once in a while. Simmer until a saucy consistency is achieved. Adjust seasoning with soy sauce according to taste. Serve hot!
