alpapito's Juicy Adobo

Hello again,

without further ado, let's get started.

You can prepare Jasmine Rice or Pandan Rice for this meal but Plain Rice would be just fine so that you can really taste the dish, we can now start cooking the adobo but before we start, we must prepare the following to conserve time and energy.

Ingredients:

Pork/chicken Meat    - 1 kilo with fats - 1x1 sliced
Onion         - 1 bulb (sliced)
Garlic          - 8-10 cloves (minced)
Ginger          - 1 small piece (minced)
Oil                 - 1 tbsp.
Ground Black peppper - 1 pinch
Pineapple Juice          - 1-2 cups
Sugar          - 1 tbsp. (optional)
Vinegar          - 1/2 or 1 tbsp
Soy Sauce          - 3 tbsp.

(Optional)
If you wish your adobo to be sweet, you can include the chunks and if you want it spicy add the Wild pepper. You add them both or any of the two.

Pineapple Chunks      - 1 cup
Wild/Native Pepper   - 4 pcs. sliced in half

After you prepared the following ingredients, we are now ready to start.

Procedure:

1. Rinse the meat and place it in a not so deep caserole.
2. Place water with atleast 1/4 cup of water.
3. Place in medium heat flame and cover it until natural oil comes out and the meat turns into a golden color. It usually took me 5-10 minutes depending on the meat. Check it at least every 3 minutes to avoid burning the meat. Mix if necessary.
4. while waiting, you can prepare your favorite vegetable salad or your favorite dessert. and put it in the refrigerator.
5. After waiting, you can now add 1 tbsp of oil and your spices in order; mix them one at a time. Minced ginger, Minced onion, Sliced garlic. Sautee for awhile.
6. Add the vinegar and the soy sauce then mix.
   

   Actually, you can now eat the recipe up to Step 1 to 6 if you just add a 1/4 cup of water and then let it simmer for at least 3 minutes. But if you continue up to the next step, you will experience something different because this is where the secret comes in.

7. Pour pineapple juice into the recipe with medium heat and let it simmer until the sauce becomes thicken or a little condense.
8. After the sauce becomes a little thicky, you can now add the wild pepper then mix it.
9. This is where you add the pineapple chunks, if ever you want to add them.
10. Serve the hot Pandan Rice or Jasmin Rice and alpapito's adobo.

Hope you'll enjoy cooking. Happy cooking!
