Steps:

• Cut the pork into 2-3 inch pieces.
• Mix the water, sugar and soy sauce in a large frying pan. Add the bay leaf and bring it up to medium high heat.
• Lay pork pieces in the sauce, cover and cook on medium (keep it low enough that the sauce doesn't boil over; adding additional small amounts of water and soy if needed.) Cook for 10-15 minutes and flip the pork, cooking an additional 10 -15 minutes until done which will depend on the thickness of the pork.
• Serve the pork over a bed of rice, removing the bay leaf, drizzling the sauce over it and seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
