Directions

  1. Fry the cut pieces of meat. The leftover fried meat can also be used in this dish.
  2. Heat the sugar in a saucepan with a small amount of vinegar until it caramelizes.
  3. When the caramelized sugar releases its aroma, pour in the remaining vinegar and water, then mix well: this will be the cooking liquid. ≈ 4 min
  4. Prepare a pot made of terracotta by lining the bottom, so that the mixture doesn’t stick. ≈ 3 min
