I just recently realized that I have not shared any traditional Filipino pork adobo recipe yet. I was surprised because I grew up eating different varieties of adobo, some of which were Filipino Pork Adobo with Tofu and Oyster Sauce and the Chinese version: Braised Pork in Soy Sauce. Traditional pork adobo consists basically of garlic, soy sauce, vinegar, bay leaf, ground pepper and water. Typically, the meat is simmered first in said ingredients until tender and then drained and browned before serving with the sauce. In this recipe, I moved away from the conventional way by browning the pork pieces first. I then added the rest of the ingredients and let the mixture simmer until the pork meat was tender. I like my meat super tender so I let it simmer longer, at least 45 minutes. I also prefer to use dark soy sauce in this dish to give the meat a darker color. After 45 minutes of simmering, the pork meat was dark, tender and very tasty. The addition of honey at the end made it taste even better. Yummy!
