| 1. Finely dice the onion and garlic (note that this is a whole head of garlic, not just a single clove.). | 2. Brown the finely diced onion and the garlic in a large pot with a little oil. | 3. Cut the pork or chicken into 1”x1” to 1”x3” pieces. If using bone-in, just cut away some of the larger pieces from the bone. | 4. Add the 1 cup of vinegar and 1 cup of water to the onion/garlic. | 5. Bring it to a low boil at about medium-high. | 6. Add the meat and continue to cook at or near boiling for a minimum of 20 minutes. | 7. Sometime during the 20 minutes, add the balsamic vinegar (to taste). I usually cook it for more than 20 minutes. The extra time doesn’t hurt the meat and actually makes it tenderer (Probably because of the vinegar). | 8. With about ten minutes left, add the soy sauce. | 9. If you cook it as long as I do (30-40 minutes), you will want to have an extra cup of water and some vinegar (white) on hand since the mixture will probably reduce too much. | 10. When the meat is tender, pull it out of the gravy and brown it in a little oil in a separate pan. I sometimes sprinkle a little bit of paprika on it at this point for both color and flavor. | 11. While the meat is browning use a cold water roux made from a one-to-one ratio of cornstarch and water to thicken the remaining gravy. | 12. The meat can be remixed with the gravy after browning or served separately. I usually put the meat and gravy together and serve it over the rice. Sometimes I serve the chicken and rice separately, dousing both with gravy. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
