Preparation

Step 1

Method:

Combine soy sauce, red wine vinegar, garlic and pepper.

Place pork in non-reactive bowl. Pour marinade mixture over the meat. Cover and refrigerate over-night.

Put meat and marinade in a covered frying pan; simmer at low heat. Turn every 15-20 minutes, to ensure even cooking. When marinade is totally absorbed, test meat for tenderness. If more simmering is needed, add a cup or more of water.

When meat is tender, add a little vegetable oil and brown the adobo a bit more.

Serve over steamed white rice.

Note: this recipe also works well with cut-up chicken nuggets, preferably bone-in.
