Method
- In a bowl, marinate in the refrigerator the pork shoulder with soy sauce, calamansi or lemon juice, and pepper for about 30 minutes.
- Heat the oil in a pot over medium high heat. Brown the pork pieces on all sides, then set aside.
- In the same pot, sauté the chopped onion until soft, then add the garlic and cook until fragrant.
- Stir in the tomato sauce, water or broth, bay leaf, and any remaining marinade. Return the browned pork to the pot and bring to a boil.
- Lower the heat, cover, and simmer 40–60 minutes until the pork is tender.
- Add the potatoes and carrots and cook about 15 minutes until the vegetables are cooked through.
- Add the red and green bell pepper strips and simmer about 5 minutes more. Season with sugar, salt, and pepper, then serve hot.
