Adobo with Garlic Fried Rice
Ingredients:
1 kilo meat (2.2 pounds), cut into chunks (your choice of pork or chicken)
1 cup vinegar
1 head garlic, crushed
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup water
1 tsp. peppercorns
1 Tbsp. oil
Wash pork or chicken meat; place in a cooking pan, and mix in other ingredients. Cover the pan and bring mixture to the boil, using medium heat. Once boiling, stir mixture to separate meat pieces. Lower heat, cook until meat is tender, stirring mixture once or twice.
When meat is tender and there is 'excess' liquid left, transfer meat to a container and allow excess liquid in the pan to 'evaporate' by turning up the heat. Once liquid is almost dried up, put back the meat in the pan and allow to 'fry' in its own fat, stirring lightly. Serve hot with garlic-fried rice and tomato slices.
Note: Use the leanest meat you can find.
