Tips:
- Choose the right cut of meat. Pork shoulder or pork butt are the best cuts for adobo, as they are tough and flavorful cuts that will hold up well to the long cooking time.
- Use a good quality soy sauce. Soy sauce is one of the main ingredients in adobo, so it's important to use a good quality brand. Look for a soy sauce that is dark and flavorful.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. When browning the meat, it's important to not overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the meat from cooking evenly.
- Let the adobo marinate. The longer the adobo marinates, the more flavorful it will be. Marinate the adobo for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
- Use a heavy-bottomed pot. When cooking the adobo, use a heavy-bottomed pot. This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the adobo from burning.
- Cook the adobo low and slow. Adobo is a dish that is best cooked low and slow. This will help to tenderize the meat and allow the flavors to develop.
- Serve the adobo with rice. Adobo is traditionally served with rice. You can also serve it with other sides, such as vegetables or potatoes.
