Steps to Make Pork Belly Meat Cuts Of Adobo

Adobo Twist

I prefer my adobo dry so if you prefer your adobo that way, dry or less sauce, remove excess sauce and continue cooking until sauce reaches the amount you want it to be.

Ingredients | Pork Belly Meat Cuts Of Adobo

2 tablespoons vegetable oil, or as needed

1 onion, chopped

1 head garlic, crushed

2 pounds pork belly, cut into 1-inch squares

¾ cup soy sauce, or to taste

¼ cup water

1 ½ teaspoons whole black peppercorns

2 bay leaves

¼ cup cane vinegar

3 tablespoons brown sugar, or more to taste

1 ½ teaspoons dried basil leaves, or more to taste

Directions

Heat oil in a skillet over high heat. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add pork; cook just until evenly browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Stir in soy sauce, water, peppercorns, and bay leaves. Reduce heat to low and cover stockpot. Cook until liquid is at a simmer, 1 to 2 minutes.

Uncover stockpot, add vinegar, and cook without stirring until vinegar dissipates and liquid thickens, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in brown sugar and basil, cover stock pot, and cook until pork is tender and cooking liquid has thickened to sauce consistency, 10 to 15 minutes.

Pork belly can be substituted with pork tenderloin, if desired.
