Back to my roots challenge #2

Pork Adobo

My second dish for my "Back to my roots" Challenge is the Pork Adobo. I usually make this dish with Chicken (on the rare occasion when I do make this) but it's just as delicious with pork. Once again, this recipe is a common fare at my mum's table. I love the balance of the sourness from the vinegar and the saltiness from the soy sauce. There are many, many versions of this dish out there but my mum's is a simple one and VERY satisfying.

• 500g pork chops, cut into large pieces


• 5 garlic cloves, smashed


• 250ml water


• 125ml white vinegar


• 75ml dark soy sauce


• vegetable oil


• pinch of salt

1. In a frying pan, add water, vinegar, garlic, salt and the pork chops.


2. Simmer until the pork is cooked through; about 15 minutes.


3. Remove pork and set aside liquid.


4. Add the oil and fry the pork.


5. Return liquid and soy.


6. Simmer gently for 5 minutes.


7. Serve with plan rice.
