Instructions

1. Heat the oil in a large heavy pot over high heat. Sear half the pork until golden all over, about 4 minutes, then transfer to a bowl. Repeat with the rest of the pork and add it to the bowl.
2. Reduce the heat to medium. Cook the onion for 2 minutes, then add the garlic and cook for another minute until the onion softens.
3. Add the water, both soy sauces, the vinegar, sugar, peppercorns and bay leaves, and stir. Return the pork with any juices from the bowl.
4. Bring to a boil, then partly cover the pot, leaving a 2 cm (1 inch) gap, and reduce the heat so the liquid barely simmers. Simmer for 1 1/2 hours, or until the pork is fall-apart tender, continuing longer if it is not yet tender.
5. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Fry the pineapple in one layer until golden on each side, about 4 minutes per side. Set aside.
6. Remove the pork with a slotted spoon. Boil the liquid on high heat until reduced to 1 1/2 cups (375 ml), about 7 to 10 minutes; it should be a thin syrup.
7. Reduce the heat to low. Return the pork, pineapple and any juices, stirring gently until warmed through.
8. Serve over jasmine rice, topped with green onion if using.
