Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 lbs pork belly, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 cup soy sauce
- 1/2 cup white vinegar
- 1 cup water
- 1 head garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
- 3 bay leaves
- 3 tablespoons cooking oil
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar

Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the pork belly, soy sauce, vinegar, water, garlic, peppercorns, and bay leaves. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for best results.
- Heat the cooking oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Remove the pork belly from the marinade, reserving the marinade, and sear the pork belly until browned on all sides.
- Pour the reserved marinade into the pot with the pork belly. Add the brown sugar and season with salt to taste. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the pork belly is tender and the sauce has thickened.
- Serve the pork belly adobo hot with steamed rice. Enjoy!
Pork Belly Adobo is a classic Filipino dish with a rich history dating back to the Spanish colonial era.
