Adobong Baboy (Filipino Pork Adobo)

Serves: 4–5 | Time: ~1 hour

Ingredients

2 lb (900 g) pork belly or pork shoulder, cut into chunks

½ cup soy sauce

½ cup cane vinegar (or white vinegar)

1 cup water

6–8 cloves garlic, crushed

2–3 bay leaves

1 tsp whole black peppercorns

1 tbsp brown sugar (optional, for slight sweetness)

1–2 tbsp cooking oil

Instructions

Marinate (optional but recommended):
Combine pork, soy sauce, garlic, bay leaves, and peppercorns. Marinate 30 minutes to overnight.

Brown the pork:
Heat oil in a heavy pot over medium heat. Sear pork until lightly browned.

Simmer:
Add marinade, water, and sugar (if using). Bring to a boil without stirring for 2–3 minutes.

Cook low & slow:
Lower heat, cover, and simmer 40–50 minutes until pork is tender. Stir occasionally.

Reduce sauce:
Uncover and simmer another 10–15 minutes until sauce thickens and coats the pork.

Taste & serve:
Adjust salt or vinegar if needed. Serve hot with steamed rice.

Tips & Variations

Mas tuyo (oilier style): Let sauce reduce completely, then fry pork in its own fat.

May konting anghang: Add dried chili or chili flakes.

With potatoes: Add quartered potatoes during the last 15 minutes.

Adobo sa gata: Add ½–¾ cup coconut milk at the end and simmer 5 minutes.

If you want, I can give you a classic dry adobo, pressure cooker version, or extra garlicky style.

Pork Humba is a beloved Filipino dish that’s similar to adobo but with a sweet-savory twist — usually featuring tender pork belly braised in soy sauce, vinegar, and sugar, often with pineapple, banana blossoms, and black beans. It’s especially popular in the Visayas and Mindanao regions.

Pork Igado (also spelled Higado) is a traditional Ilocano dish that originated from the Ilocos Region in northern Luzon, Philippines. The name igado actually comes from the Spanish word “hígado,” which means liver — a fitting name since pork liver is one of its main ingredients.
