Cut the pork fillet into small pieces and marinate for 12-24 hours in soy sauce, vinegar, half of the brown sugar, garlic, bay leaves, and peppercorns. The next day, remove the meat pieces from the marinade. Heat oil in a pan over high heat and fry the pork for about 8 minutes. Add the brown sugar and fry briefly. Reduce the heat slightly and add 3 tablespoons of the marinade. Wait until the sugar caramelizes. Add the remaining marinade and water. Cook for 5 minutes, then reduce the heat and simmer for 50-60 minutes. The sauce is ready when it has a syrupy consistency. Serve with basmati rice.
