Adobo Twist

Adobo Twist
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, or as needed
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 head garlic, crushed
  • 2 pounds pork belly, cut into 1-inch squares
  • 3/4 cup soy sauce, or to taste
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons whole black peppercorns
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1/4 cup cane vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar, or more to taste
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons dried basil leaves, or more to taste


  1. Heat oil in a skillet over high heat. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add pork; cook just until evenly browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Stir in soy sauce, water, peppercorns, and bay leaves. Reduce heat to low and cover stockpot. Cook until liquid is at a simmer, 1 to 2 minutes.
  2. Uncover stockpot, add vinegar, and cook without stirring until vinegar dissipates and liquid thickens, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in brown sugar and basil, cover stock pot, and cook until pork is tender and cooking liquid has thickened to sauce consistency, 10 to 15 minutes.
