Important Notes
Using a 1:1 ratio of vinegar and water ensures the meat becomes surprisingly tender even with a short simmering time. 💡
Thorough simmering allows the sharp acidity of the vinegar to mellow out, resulting in a rich, savory flavor. 🔥
It tastes delicious even when cold, and you can change the flavor profile to an ethnic style by adding chili powder and fish sauce. 🌍
