2 lbs pork shoulder, sliced into chunks
3 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup vinegar
1 star anise, grounded
1 tablespoon red pepper flakes
5 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 tablespoon sesame oil
3 cups water
2 large potatoes, cut up into large chunks

1/2 cup mushroom, halved
1 lemongrass, stalk
10 pine nuts (for garnishing)
sliced green onion (for garnish)
1 liter Pepsi (for marination)

1
Directions:
2
In a large pot over high heat, place the pork chunks with a few bay leaves. Let boil for about 10 minutes and drain under running cold water.
3
With a skewer, poke the chunks of meat to tenderize the inside of the meat before marinating.
4
Combine the pork with the l liter of Pepsi in a large bowl. Cover and let marinate for at least an hour (the longer the better).
5
Rinse the pork and place in a large pot. Add the water with sauce ingredients and lemongrass. Cook on medium heat for about 20~25 minutes while occasionally coating the meat with sauce.
6
Add in potatoes, mushrooms, and carrots, cooking for another 15 minutes on low heat. Discard lemongrass stalks.
7
Near the end when most of the broth should have thickened or evaporated, add some sesame oil.
8
Serve on a platter as main course. If you have extra sauce leftover (that hasn't evaporated) I recommend mixing and eating with rice.
9
Garnish with pine nuts or green onion.
