Slice the garlic cloves whichever way you choose (I prefer lengthwise) and saute them in a wok or a big enough frying pan, in approx 3 tbsp of oil.
Put in the cubed pork, give it a good stir. Add the soy sauce plus 1 cup of water, cover the pan and cook for 20 mins or so over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces in stir a bit, and simmer for another 10 minutes.
Add the vinegar and sugar, cover, and cook until the meat is cooked through. (Just make sure that theres always liquid left in the pan to avoid burning the meat).
You can also add some seasoning or more soy sauce at this point; it all depends on your preference. Before turning off the heat, add the bay leaves and pepper, and cook for 5 minutes more or until the sauce is reduced. This dish is best paired with steamed/boiled rice.
