Heat a drizzle of oil in a pan over high heat.

Add the cubed pork to the hot pan and sauté until the outside is lightly browned, stirring with a wooden spatula.

Add the crushed garlic and chopped onion to the pan with the pork. Sauté everything together for about 3 minutes, stirring continuously.

Pour in the mirin and let it evaporate, stirring occasionally.

Add the soy sauce and let it reduce slightly, stirring occasionally.

Add the bay leaves, black peppercorns, and sugar to the pan. Pour in enough water to reach about 3/4 the height of the meat.

Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for at least 1 hour, or until the pork is tender and the liquid has significantly reduced and darkened.

Once most of the liquid has evaporated, add the vinegar to the pan and stir.

Allow the liquid to reduce again, creating a thick sauce. Serve the Pork Adobo hot with rice.
