Cooking tips

  • Use regular cola only—do not use zero-sugar cola, as the artificial sweeteners can cause bitterness when heated and will fail to deliver the desired sweetness and tenderizing effect.
  • Adding cola not only removes any off-flavors from the meat but also naturally gives the dish a luxurious, caramel-like color due to its unique coloring agents.
  • Cutting the potatoes into large pieces ensures they hold their shape during long simmering and remain visually appealing.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to enjoy a clean, oil-free meal without the hassle of grilling pork belly or frying.
  • People looking to make sweet-savory side dishes that kids love or hearty, satisfying rice accompaniments.
