Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers.

  2. Step 2

    Add pork in a single layer and sear 2 minutes per side without stirring until browned.

  3. Step 3

    Pour soy sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, and 0.5 cup water over the pork. Add bay leaves.

  4. Step 4

    Bring to a boil, then reduce to medium and simmer uncovered 8–10 minutes until sauce darkens.

  5. Step 5

    While pork braises, warm cooked rice in a separate pot or microwave until steaming.

  6. Step 6

    Divide rice between plates and top with pork and dark, glossy sauce. Serve hot.
