Note

When making Pork Adobo, you should be careful about the following points:

  1. Balance the soy sauce and vinegar – Too much vinegar can make the dish too sour, while too much soy sauce can make it too salty. Maintain a good balance for the best flavor.
  2. Don’t stir after adding vinegar (at first) – Let the vinegar boil for a few minutes before stirring to remove its raw taste.
  3. Cook the pork until tender – Simmer slowly to allow the meat to absorb the flavors and become soft.
  4. Adjust seasoning carefully – Taste the sauce near the end of cooking before adding extra salt or soy sauce.
  5. Don’t burn the garlic – Brown it lightly for aroma, but burning it can make the sauce bitter.
  6. Use the right cut of meat – Pork belly or shoulder works best for tenderness and flavor.
  7. Reduce sauce properly – Let the sauce thicken slightly so it coats the meat well without becoming too dry.
