Ingredients

Scale
  1. 150 g pork belly, thinly sliced
  2. 350 g string beans (sitaw), cut into 4-inch lengths
  3. 1 small onion, sliced
  4. 5 cloves garlic, minced
  5. 1/4 cup water
  6. 3 tbsp soy sauce
  7. 1 tbsp vinegar
  8. 1 tsp sugar (more or less to taste)
  9. 1/4 tsp ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Fry the Pork: Start by frying the pork belly over medium heat until browned all over and some of its fat has rendered off.
  • Saute Onions and Garlic: Add the onions and garlic to the pan. Sauté until the onions have softened, about 3-5 minutes.
  • Add Ingredients: Add the string beans, water, soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, and ground black pepper to the pan.
  • Simmer: Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and let simmer for 5-10 minutes with a lid on. The beans should be tender, with a slight firmness when chewed.
  • Dry Option (Optional): If you prefer the dish to be on the dry side, continue to simmer for a couple more minutes until the sauce reaches your desired consistency.

 

  • Serve and Enjoy: Once ready, serve hot with steamed rice and enjoy this flavorful Filipino dish!

Notes

  • Adjust the sugar based on your preference for sweetness.
  • For extra flavor, you can add a bay leaf while simmering.
  • If you prefer a more saucy adobo, reduce the simmering time.

 

  • This dish pairs perfectly with steamed white rice.
