Marinate the Pork: In a large bowl, combine the pork chunks, soy sauce, and half of the minced garlic. Mix well and let marinate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for best results.
Brown the Pork: Heat the cooking oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the marinated pork (reserve the marinade) and cook until browned on all sides. Remove the pork from the pot and set aside.
Sauté the Aromatics: In the same pot, add the remaining garlic and the sliced onion. Sauté until the onion is translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
Simmer: Return the browned pork to the pot. Add the reserved marinade, vinegar, bay leaves, peppercorns, sugar (if using), and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the pork is tender and the sauce has reduced to your desired consistency.
Serve: Remove the bay leaves and transfer the Adobong Baboy to a serving dish. Serve hot with steamed rice and enjoy!
