Ingredients
1/2 cup cane vinegar, preferably Datu Puti brand
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup water
3 medium cloves garlic, crushed
1/2 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
1 bay leaf
Two bone-in pork chops, about 1 1/2 inches thick
Warm cooked sticky rice, for serving
Directions
In a medium saucepan, combine vinegar, soy sauce, water, garlic, peppercorns, and bay leaf and bring to a boil. Let marinade cool to room temperature. Place pork chops in a heavy-duty zipper-lock bag and pour marinade on top. Seal, pressing out air from bag, and refrigerate at least 8 and up to 24 hours. Light 1 chimney full of charcoal. When all charcoal is lit and covered with gray ash, pour out and spread coals evenly over half of coal grate. Alternatively, set half the burners of a gas grill to high heat. Set cooking grate in place, cover grill, and allow to preheat for 5 minutes. Clean and oil grilling grate. Grill pork chops over direct heat, turning occasionally, until well browned outside and 135 degrees F in the center for medium, about 10 minutes. If pork chops threaten to burn before they're done in the center, move them to cooler side of grill to finish cooking. Let rest 5 minutes before serving with sticky rice.
