Directions
- Marinate the Pork: In a large bowl, combine the pork cubes with soy sauce, garlic, and bay leaves. Mix well and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, preferably overnight in the refrigerator for more flavor absorption.
- Sauté the Onion (optional): Heat the oil over medium heat in the pan. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent.
- Brown the Pork: Add the marinated pork (including the marinade) into the pan. Cook until the pork is browned on all sides.
- Simmer the Adobo: Pour in the vinegar and allow it to boil for a minute, without stirring, to cook off the strong vinegar flavor. Then, add water and peppercorns, and bring the mixture to a boil.
- Cook until Tender: Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let it simmer for about 40-50 minutes or until the pork becomes tender and the sauce is reduced to your desired consistency.
- Season and Serve: Add sugar and season with salt if necessary. Stir gently. Serve hot with steamed rice.
Notes
- Marination Magic: Letting the pork marinate overnight enhances the flavors, making it more robust and delicious.
