Recipe Introduction


You can follow this recipe for either chicken or pork.


List of Ingredients




3/4 cup rice vinegar
1/4 cup soy sauce (We recommend using Golden Mountain brand found in most Asian markets.)
1 Tbs. minced garlic
1 bay leaf whole
1 tsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. Pepper
4 chicken legs or 1 1/2 lb. pork shoulder cut into 1 1/2 inch chunks
3/4 cup water
2 Tbs. cooking oil
2 tsp. cornstarch dissolved in 1 Tbs. cold water


Recipe



In large sauce pan combine the vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, bay leaf, sugar, salt and pepper. Add chicken or pork and stir to coat. Marinate for at least 30 minutes. (We always do it over night if possible.) After marinating add water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until meat is done. Remove meat from sauce with a slotted spoon. Add cornstarch and water mixture to sauce. Bring to a boil and till thickened. Return meat to sauce. Serve with steamed rice. (We recommend Thai Jasmine rice. Calrose is a good brand)
