Pork or Chicken Adobo Recipe
Adobo is the closest thing Filipinos have to a national dish. Some people like combining chicken and pork in one dish, others prefer using one or the other.
Traditionally, adobo is made with vinegar. I prefer using calamansi or lime because vinegar tend to be too strong for my taste.
Ingredients
- 2 lb pork belly or 2 lb Chicken
- 2 tbsp garlic, minced or crushed

- 1 tbsp whole pepper corn or course pepper
- 1 cup of water (or 7-Up)
- 1 pc of pork cube or chicken to taste
