Calories: 259kcal
Ingredients
- 1 kilogram leftover pork lechon, cebuchon, or lechon kawali
- ½ cup vinegar
- ½ cup sprite soft drink see notes
- ⅓ cup soy sauce
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 onion chopped
- ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2-3 pieces bay leaf
- 1 tablespoon sugar optional
- Salt to taste if needed
Instructions
- Turn the stove on medium-low heat.
- Combine the Sprite, vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, onion, ground black pepper, and sugar. Bring to boil.
- Add the pork lechon and bay leaf. Cover and let is simmer for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Season with salt if needed. Let it cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Sprite soft drink can be substituted with 7-up soft drink, ginger-ale, pineapple juice, orange juice, or water.
- You may add 2 tablespoons of oil if needed to add flavor. I usually do this if the lechon I was using did not have enough fat in it.
