1In a bowl, marinate the pork belly in soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, peppercorns, bay leaves, brown sugar, and siling labuyo for at least 30 minutes. Mas bet kung overnight para super tender!
2In a pot or kawali, brown the marinated pork on all sides over medium-high heat. Wag masyadong sunugin ha! Just until golden brown.
3Pour in the coconut milk. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for about 45-60 minutes, or until the pork is very tender. Lantaw mo na lang kung ready na. Super lambot dapat!
4Remove the lid and let the sauce reduce slightly until it thickens to your liking. Season with salt to taste. Konti lang ha, baka masyadong maalat!
For a richer flavor, use a combination of thick and thin coconut milk. Para sosyal! Also, donβt be afraid to experiment with the amount of siling labuyo. Ang sarap kaya ng spicy!
