Preparation

Step 1

Cut the pork into bite-sized pieces. In a large saucepan, heat the oil and saute the garlic for a few minutes, being careful not to burn the cloves or the dish will become bitter. Add the pork pieces and cook until brown. Pour in the water, vinegar and soy sauce. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat to simmer. Add the peppercorns and bay leaf. Cover the saucepan and cook for 30 minutes or until the pork is tender. Discard the garlic, peppercorns and bay leaf. Serve the pork adobo with hot, steamed white rice.
