Pork Igado

Combine the pork strips, vinegar, soy sauce, onions, garlic, bay leaves, and peppercorns in a mixing bowl. Allow 15 to 20 minutes to marinate.

Remove the meat from the marinade and squeeze off any excess liquid. Save the marinade and aromatics for later.

Heat the oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Cook for about 30 seconds after adding the bell peppers. Remove the item and place it away.

Cook, stirring occasionally, until the color of the meat changes.

Cook until the onions, garlic, peppercorns, and bay leaves (from the pork marinade) are softened and the meat is lightly browned.

Return the saved marinade to the pot and cook, uncovered and without stirring, for 4 to 5 minutes.

Reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the pork is soft and the liquid has been reduced.

Stir in the liver and heat for another 4 to 5 minutes, or until the liver is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.

Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until green peas are heated through.

Cook for another 1 to 2 minutes, or until bell peppers are cooked but still crunchy. To taste, season with salt. Serve immediately.
