Ingredients
  

  • 2 and ½ lbs of pork belly (substitute with pork shoulder if desired)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 1 full head of garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon whole peppercorns
  • 3 bay leaves
  • 1 cup regular soy sauce
  • ½ cup white vinegar
  • 1 cup water

Method
 

  1. Cut the pork into 2-inch bite-sized pieces.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Sauté the pork belly until browned on all sides, working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. No need for marination!
  3. Set aside the browned pork and sauté sliced onions until translucent. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
  4. Return the pork to the skillet and add brown sugar, whole peppercorns, and bay leaves. Sauté to caramelize the sugar.
  5. Pour in regular soy sauce, white vinegar, and water. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 hour.
  6. After an hour, remove the lid, increase heat to medium, and reduce the liquid until it thickens into a delightful sauce.
  7. Save the leftovers for an even more flavorful experience the next day.
  8. Serve your Filipino-inspired Pork Adobo Delight over white rice and garnish with fresh scallions.
