Ingredienser

• Pork belly – For a juicy, meaty dish!
• Garlic – Makes for the most savory stew.
• Dried bay leaves – Gives off the perfect adobo aroma
• Vinegar – Part of what makes adobo so brilliantly unique is its sourness, which we get from vinegar.
• Soy sauce – There’s nothing quite like the salty quality of soy sauce!
• Peppercorn – Just for the slightest bit of spice!
• Water – As this has a stew, we will definitely be using plenty of water!
• Salt – And to make sure everything is nice and flavorful, you will be using some salt too.

Note: There are multiple steps described in the text. We preserve wording as is.

Step 1 Be prepared to do some marinating, but if you are in a rush, you have to do it for just 1 hour. After that, you can start working on your stew! We just need to combine our ingredients, and let them simmer for some time. Making adobo really is not as difficult as it may seem!

Step 2 Combine the pork belly, soy sauce, and garlic then marinade for at least 1 hour

Step 3 Heat the pot and put-in the marinated pork belly. Cook this all up for a few minutes

Step 4 Pour the remaining marinade including the garlic.

Step 5 Add water, whole peppercorn, and dried bay leaves. Then bring your mixture to a boil. Simmer for 40 minutes to 1 hour

Step 6 Put the vinegar inside and simmer for 12 to 15 minutes

Step 7 Add salt to taste

Step 8 Serve hot. Share and enjoy!

It won’t be easy to find someone who does not enjoy the classic Pork Adobo! The reason’s in the seasonings that make our pork belly delicious– from bay leaves to soy sauce to peppercorn! We also really want this cut of meat because its texture is too irresistible to pass up on. The pork belly is perfectly soft, and can almost have a melt-in-your-mouth quality to it. Of course, you could try out leaner cuts too, but this definitely helps give us the full adobo experience. Adobo History

The Spanish word adobar means “to marinate,” and this is actually where we got the name of this dish. The marinade can be in the form of a liquid one or rubbed using a combination of powdered ingredients. This Filipino Adobo, as I mentioned earlier, suggests marinating the pork in soy sauce and crushed garlic. And if you would like, vinegar is something you can add as a marinade ingredient.
