Spicy Coconut Milk Pork Belly Adobo
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 lbs pork belly, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup white vinegar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 onion, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 tsp black peppercorns
- 2-3 red chili peppers, sliced (adjust to taste)
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the pork belly, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, bay leaves, and black peppercorns. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the marinated pork belly and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the chopped onion and sliced red chili peppers to the pot, and sauté for another 2-3 minutes until the onion is softened.
- Pour in the coconut milk and add the brown sugar. Stir to combine, then bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the adobo simmer for 45-50 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pork belly is tender and the sauce has thickened.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more soy sauce or vinegar if desired for a balance of flavors.
- Serve the spicy coconut milk pork belly adobo hot over steamed rice, garnished with sliced red chili peppers for an extra kick. Enjoy!
