Yield: 8 4-ounce servings

Ingredients

  1. 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, or as needed
  2. 1 onion, chopped
  3. 1 head garlic, crushed
  4. 2 pounds pork belly, cut into 1-inch squares
  5. ¾ cup soy sauce, or to taste
  6. ¼ cup water
  7. 1 ½ teaspoons whole black peppercorns
  8. 2 bay leaves
  9. ¼ cup cane vinegar
  10. 3 tablespoons brown sugar, or more to taste
  11. 1 ½ teaspoons dried basil leaves, or more to taste

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Pork belly can be substituted with pork tenderloin, if desired.

I like adding vegetables to my adobo so I added snow peas, diced carrots, and potatoes. It turned out really good!!

I made this dish.easy recipe to follow. I’ve lived in Hawaii now for 18 yrs. And I will definitely be making this dish again. Only thing I didn’t have was cane vinegar. I used Apple cider vinegar instead.
