Directions
In a pot, boil the pork cubes with water until tender (about 20-25 minutes). Drain and let the pork cool.
In a bowl, combine the cooled pork, vinegar, calamansi juice, sliced onion, minced garlic, ginger, and bird's eye chilies (if using). Add fish sauce, salt, and pepper to taste. Mix well. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour to let the flavors meld together.
Before serving, you can garnish with sliced cucumbers for added freshness. Adjust the seasoning with a pinch of sugar if desired.
