Ingredients

2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp lemon or calamansi juice
2 lbs pork shoulder , sliced into bite-sized pieces
3 tbsp avocado oil or any other vegetable oil
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 small onion, chopped
2 medium tomatoes, chopped
1 tbsp fish sauce
1 tsp paprika
1 cup water plus more if needed
1 large potato, peeled and cubed
1 red bell pepper, deseeded and diced
1 cup diced carrot

Instructions

In a big glass bowl, mix together the soy sauce and lemon juice. Add the pork and let marinate for half an hour.
Heat the oil in a heavy pan over medium high heat. Add the garlic and onion, and saute for 2 minutes.
Add the tomatoes and saute until onion is soft, about 2 minutes. Stir in the fish sauce and paprika.
Add the marinated pork pieces and saute until brown and no longer pink, about 4 minutes.
Add the water and then bring to a boil. Lower the heat to medium, cover and cook until pork is tender, about 45 minutes. Check, every 15 minutes, stirring and adding 1/2 cup of water each time, if running low on liquid.
Add the potatoes, red bell pepper and carrots. Cook for 10 minutes.
