Recipe Description: Filipino Pork Adobo Recipe

If you know any Filipino cooks or plan on going to the Philippines for a vacation, you must eat Filipino pork adobo. Filipino Pork Adobo recipe is one of the best Filipino recipes I know, and after a bite of pork adobo you will be craving for more, no doubt.

Adobo is the national dish of the Philippines and is a Spanish name which means either chicken, pork, vegetables or seafood cooked in rice vinegar and garlic. Pork Adobo is usually served over rice which is mixed to taste, and some Filipinos like to add onions, hard boiled eggs, or quail eggs to their pork adobe recipe.

There are many varieties of Filipino pork adobe recipes but the one below is my favorite, and really easy to cook.

Ingredients for 4-6 servings:

Amount	Measurement	Ingredients
1.5	pounds	Pork with lots of fats and skin, sliced into 1-2 inch cubes. (optional) Pork with less or no fats for those on a diet like me.
2/3	cup	White Vinegar or Sukang Maasim (Cane Vinegar, Filipino brand) (optional) Use less or more vinegar to taste
1/3	cup	Silverswan special soy sauce or Kikkoman soy sauce. (optional) Use about a tbsp of salt if you don’t have soy sauce.
2	tbsp	Garlic crushed, chopped or whole. (however you like) (optional) Garlic Powder.
2		Bay Leaves

1	tsp	Black Peppercorn whole
1/2	cup	Onion, sliced (optional) Green Onions, Chopped
3	tbsp	(optional) Brown Sugar, if you have a sweet tooth, most Filipino’s do
3-6		(optional) Eggs, hard boiled and remove shells (optional) Use about 10 Quail Eggs. Yummy
2-4	cups	Rice, cooked in a rice cooker.

Preparation for Filipino Pork Adobo

1. Cook the rice first in rice cooker or pot. (I always forget this part.)
2. In a large pot add the chopped pork, white vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, bay leaves, black peppercorns, and water. Turn on your hood fan (vinegar will smell strong when cooking). Bring the pot up to a slow boil then cover. Cook for about 30 minutes if your in a hurry and need to serve dinner now. Or if you have time cook it up 2 hours to make the pork soft. Also you can use a pressure cooker to make the pork adobo recipe.
3. (optional) Add Onions, throw them in the pot when you have about 5-10 minutes left to cook.
4. (optional) Mix in some hard boiled eggs or quail eggs after your done cooking.
5. (optional) Add some brown sugar if you like your adobo sweet.
6. Serve your tasty Filipino Pork Adobe with your freshly cooked rice from step 1.

Notes

(Optional) Marinate the Pork in vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, and onions for 6-12 hours or overnight.
