Steps

  1. In a wide, heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat, heat oil until very hot but not smoking.
  2. Add pork belly in a single layer and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes or until lightly browned. Turn and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes or until all sides are lightly browned. Do NOT overcrowd the pan, cook in batches as needed.
  3. Remove meat from the pan and drain on paper towels. Keep warm.
  4. In the pan, add onions and garlic and cook, stirring regularly, until softened.
  5. Add pork back to the pan and stir to combine.
  6. Add pineapple juice and vinegar. Bring to a boil, uncovered and without stirring, for about 2 to 4 minutes.
  7. Add soy sauce, water, peppercorns, and bay leaves. Stir to distribute and bring to a boil, skimming scum that floats on top.
  8. Lower heat, cover, and simmer for about 50 to 60 minutes or until very tender and liquid is reduced.
  9. Add brown sugar and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Continue to simmer until sauce is thickened.
  10. Add pineapple chunks and cook for about 1 to 2 minutes or until heated through. Serve hot.
