Pork Adobo Recipe

In a shallow bowl or a plastic bag, combine the pork, soy sauce, and garlic. Marinade for at least 1 hour in the fridge.

Heat a Dutch oven over medium heat, add the vegetable oil. Allow your oil to get hot before moving to the next step.

Add in the marinated pork belly. Cook for a few minutes on all sides, about 3-5 minutes total.

Pour in the remaining marinade. Then add water, whole peppercorns, and bay leaves. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 1 hour.

Remove the lid to taste, add vinegar, and add brown sugar if desired. Simmer for an additional 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. (do not place the lid back on the pot)

Serve immediately over rice, and enjoy!
