Lazy Speedy Prep
Stage 1
Place pork, garlic, bay leaves, peppercorns, sugar, soy sauce, vinegar, water, and oil in a large pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 20–25 minutes until pork starts tenderizing.
Stage 2
Add cubed potatoes to the pot. Simmer for another 15–20 minutes until potatoes are tender. Taste and adjust with salt or sugar.
Meal Prep & Storage
Cool completely before freezing to prevent ice crystals.
Portion into airtight containers (1.6 kg per set for 4 people).
Reheat gently — microwave or stovetop. Add a splash of water if sauce thickened too much.
Potatoes will stay reasonably firm if slightly bigger cubes are used.
