Pork Adobo Recipes

Steps:

• Combine the soy sauce, garlic, sugar and peppercorns in a large bowl. Add the pork and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight, covered (can be marinated in a resealable 1-gallon freezer bag). Mix twice at regular intervals to marinate thoroughly.
• Drain the pork in a colander over a bowl; reserve the marinade and garlic. Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Brown the pork in batches, making sure not to crowd the meat and turning often until all sides are brown, 6 to 8 minutes per batch (the peppercorns may adhere to the pork, which is fine). Watch closely: The sugar in the marinade will cause the pork to darken quickly if the pot is too hot-lower the heat if necessary to avoid burning. Remove the pork with a slotted spoon; set aside.
• Discard all but 2 tablespoons of the oil from the Dutch oven. Add the garlic from the marinade and the onions, and cook, stirring, until the onions are translucent, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Add back the pork, the strained marinade, 1 cup water and the bay leaves, and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to medium, cover and cook at a medium boil, stirring periodically, until the pork is tender but not falling apart, about 1 hour 25 minutes.
• Add the vinegar, but do not stir. Cook, uncovered, until the sauce is reduced to the consistency of a loose marinara, about 20 minutes more. Remove from the heat, and skim and discard fat (pork belly will render a good amount). Allow the pork and sauce to sit 15 minutes before serving; the sauce will continue to thicken. Serve over jasmine rice.

Steps:

• Stir together the vinegar, soy sauce, ketchup, garlic, and bay leaves in a large saucepan. Add the cubed pork, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the pork is tender, about 2 1/2 hours. Stir occasionally. If using the green beans, add them during the last half hour of cooking.

Steps:

• Note: The original recipe just called for vinegar. I use Apple Cider Vinegar - just use what you have. Some reviewers have used rice vinegar and been pleased. Rice vinegar seems to have a touch of sweetness. Do what pleases you - experiment and have fun in the kitchen.
• Stove top instructions.
• Combine all of the ingredients in a large pot. (The women who shared the recipe with me put the spices into the pot freely. Reviewer Felina suggested tying the spices into a cheesecloth to so that you get the flavor but don't bite into the peppercorns while you eat the dish - a stainless tea ball works too. Do whichever please you).
• Allow everything sit at room temperature for at least 15 minutes.
• Bring to a boil then reduce heat to low; simmer for 1 1/2 - 2 hours (leave lid slightly ajar).
• Remove lid and cook 10 minutes more.
• Serve with rice.
• Slow Cooker instructions.
• Combine all of the ingredients in a slow cooker. (The women who shared the recipe with me put the spices into the pot freely. Reviewer Felina suggested tying the spices into a cheesecloth to so that you get the flavor but don't bite into the peppercorns while you eat the dish - a stainless tea ball works too. Do whichever please you).
• Allow meat to sit at room temperature for at least 15 minutes.
• Cook on high for 3 hours or on low for 6 hours until pork or chicken is done (time depends on your slow cooker).
• Serve with rice.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients except cooking oil in a pot and let stand for at least 30 minutes.
• Simmer covered for 1 hour or until meat is tender.
• Drain and reserve the sauce.
• Heat cooking oil in a skillet.
• Brown meat on all sides.
• Transfer to a serving dish.
• Pour off all remaining oil from skillet.
• Add reserved sauce and cook for a minute or two scraping all browned bits sticking to pan.
• Pour sauce over meat and serve.

Steps:

• Combine pork belly and pork loin in a large bowl. Toss with 1 tablespoon groundnut oil to coat. Add garlic, ginger, red chile, peppercorns, brown sugar, bay leaves, and cumin. Mix in diced apple, cider vinegar, and soy sauce. Stir to coat the pork. Marinate in the fridge, stirring occasionally, for at least 1 hour.
• Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in the pan and sprinkle in salt and pepper. Add onion, bell pepper, and mushrooms. Fry until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the pork and marinade; cook until pork starts to brown, about 6 minutes. Stir in lemonade, cornstarch, and bouillon; sauce should cover the pork and vegetables.
• Reduce heat and simmer, covered, until liquid is reduced and pork is tender but still slightly pink in the center, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter 10 minutes before pork is finished cooking. Discard bay leaves before serving.

Steps:

• Heat the avocado oil in a deep, large skillet or medium Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until fragrant and the onion is translucent, 2-4 minutes.
• Add the pork and brown on all sides, 4-5 minutes.
• Add the soy sauce, ground pepper, whole peppercorns, sugar, and bay leaves and stir to combine. Pour in the vinegar without stirring, then cover the pot with a lid and let come to a boil.
• Uncover the pot, gently stir the pork, then add the water. Cover again and simmer for 45-60 minutes, until the pork is fork-tender.
• Remove the lid and cook for 15 minutes more, until the sauce has reduced. The color should be dark brown and the sauce should taste slightly tangy.
• Serve the pork over steamed Jasmine rice.
• Enjoy!
