Pork Adobo

Pork Adobo

• 3 lbs pork with skin, cubed
• 1 cup soy sauce
• 1 cup vinegar
• 5 cloves of garlic, crushed and minced
• 1/2 sweet onion, sliced
• 1 tablespoon pepper corns
• 3 pieces of bay leaves
• 1 tablespoon sugar

Cooking Instructions:

1. First, prepare the pork by sprinkling it with some meat tenderizer and setting it aside in the refrigerator for 30 mins-1 hour.
2. In a large pot, combine all ingredients (pork, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, onion, pepper corns, bay leaf) except sugar. Make sure that the pork is fully coated with the brine. Remember that the soy sauce and vinegar are in a 1:1 ratio, so if you need to add more, just make sure that they are in equal parts.

3. Heat covered in med-high heat for about 30-45 minutes, stirring occasionally. You will find that the pork will release quite a bit of fat as it cooks (You can choose to skim this off as a healthier option) meanwhile, the soy sauce and vinegar will thicken as well.
