Ingredients:

• 1 kilo pork (liempo or pork belly)
• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 1/2 cup white vinegar
• 2 tablespoon sugar
• 10 cloves of garlic, crushed
• 1 medium or large onion, sliced
• 2 bay leaves
• freshly ground black pepper

Cooking Procedure:

• Put all ingredients in a casserole pan and marinate for at least 20-30 minutes. The meat should be covered with the marinade.
• Put in high heat until it boils.
• Set to low heat and simmer until pork is tender. You may stir occasionally.
• If you like your adobo dry, then remove excess sauce when the meat is already tender and continue simmering until no sauce is left. (Or continue cooking until it dries up)
• For a spicy pork adobo, just add chili peppers and simmer for another 2-3 minutes.

Hot Tip:

• To make Pork Adobo With Eggs, garnish your pork adobo with hard boiled eggs sliced in half before serving.
