Pork and Chicken Adobo Recipe
Description
Pork and Chicken Adobo features two types of meat — pork belly and chicken pieces — slowly cooked together in a rich braising liquid made from vinegar, soy sauce, oyster sauce, plenty of garlic, bay leaves, and whole peppercorns. First, garlic is sautéed until golden to deepen flavor, then the meats are browned. The liquid is added and boiled before simmering until tender.
The process softens the meats, infusing them with the tangy, salty, and slightly sweet sauce. Brown sugar balances the vinegar's sharpness, while oyster sauce adds umami depth. Once most liquid evaporates, the dish is stirred and finished with reserved fried garlic, creating a flavorful coating.
This adobo is a filling main dish ideal served with steamed rice to soak up the sauce. The combination of pork belly's richness and chicken's lighter texture gives variety in every bite. It is made in a single pot and suitable for sharing.
