- 1 teaspoon Black peppercorns
- 6 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 medium Onion, chopped

Instructions
Cut the pork shoulder into 2-inch cubes and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine white vinegar, low sodium soy sauce, minced garlic, bay leaves, black peppercorns, and chopped onion.
Add the cubed pork to the marinade, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
In a large pot, heat the canola oil over medium heat. Add the marinated pork pieces in batches and brown each side. Remove and set aside after browning.
In the same pot, add the remaining marinade and cook for 3 minutes.
Return the browned pork to the pot. Add water, ground black pepper, and sugar. Stir to combine.
