Prepare the pork by cutting it into pieces and marinating it with lime juice, garlic, onion, scotch bonnet pepper, thyme, black pepper, and salt.

Heat vegetable oil in a large pot until hot.

Add the marinated pork to the pot and brown it on all sides.

Pour in water until the pork is just covered, then add bay leaves and bring to a boil.

Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until the pork is tender.

Remove the pork from the pot and let it cool slightly before frying.

In a separate frying pan, heat more vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

Fry the pork pieces in batches until they are crispy and golden brown.

Remove the fried pork from the oil and drain on paper towels.

In the same oil, sauté chopped green bell pepper, carrots, and scallions until tender.
