Filipino Pork Adobo
Cut the pork into bite-sized pieces. Heat oil in a large skillet, add pork pieces to skillet till meat is browned.
Add garlic and saute for a minute. Add soy sauce, vinegar, bay leaf, pepper and broth. Mix ingredients together with a wooden spatula.
Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and simmer covered for 45 minutes, or until pork is tender. Watch it carefully, you do not want the meat to dry out. Add 1/2 cup water/broth at a time if needed, until the pork meat is tender and you’ve made the desired amount of sauce.
Stir in some honey or brown sugar at the end, stir in. Serve over white rice. Or turn it into a bowl. Add white rice, top with the pork, blanched spinach, poached egg and topped with scallion.
