ADOBO needs no introduction! 🙂
Ever since I got interested in cooking, I’ve already made several versions of Adobo. The one that I’m posting now uses the same base as all other Adobos but with an extra twist: I added salted black beans (taosi). Although the preparation is quite simple, you’ll be amazed how the black beans blend with the dish, highlighting the flavor of your Adobo.
GAME!
Cooking Time:
20-30 minutes
Ingredients:
1/2 kilo of pork cubes
crushed garlic, whole black pepper, black beans
soysauce (1 cup), vinegar (1/2 cup), oil (1 tbsp)
TIP: You may choose not to follow the proportions of soy sauce and vinegar since we all have different preference. Taste Test my friend.
water (1/2 cup)
egg (the egg is just an extender. you can also add potatoes)
Steps:
1) Mix all of the ingredients (pork, soy sauce, vinegar, oil, water, pepper, black beans, garlic) thoroughly. Place over medium heat and cover.
2) When the liquid is boiling, adjust the heat to low. Wait for about 15-20 minutes or until almost all of the liquid has evaporated.
3) Drain whatever’s left of the sauce (which probably contains a relatively large amount of oil) in a separate container. Fry the pork over medium heat using it’s own fat for about 5 minutes. (TIP: for health conscious people, adding oil at the start may not be done. The pork’s natural fat will come out eventually and using this to cook itself is glorious.)
4) Pour the sauce back in and mix. Turn off heat after 30 seconds. Transfer in a serving container.
5) Serve with steamed white rice and go crazy!
