Pork and Chicken Adobo





Adobo is the national dish of the Philippines, which consists of chunks of meat, fish, or vegetables, marinated in vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, and spices and then stewed in the marinade.


Ingredients:


500 grams pork meat
500 grams chicken meat
1/4 cup of soy sauce ( I  use Silver Swan Soy Sauce or Datu Puti Soy Sauce)
2tbsp of vinegar ( I use  a super sour destilled white vinegar in Norway)
4 cloves of garlic
3 laurel leaves
black pepper corn,crashed
1/2 cup water
1/2 tsp sugar, optional



Procedure:

 Marinate the meat (15-30 mins)  in a pan together with the rest of the ingredients expect the water.  






Boil the adobo mixture in a medium heat until the meat is tender.
It will take around 35 mins,depends upon the quality of the meat.
Add 1/4 - 1/2 cup of water when the adobo sauce begins to dry. Simmer for another 10 minutes in a low heat.


Add half tsp of sugar if you like, just to neutralize the sour,salty and sweet taste.
You can also add  whole boiled eggs at the end of the cooking process.








                                                              Serve with boiled rice:)
