SPICY-SWEET PORK ADOBO
I have tasted so many versions of adobo but nothing compares to the adobo of somebody very close to me. His adobo is the best I have ever tasted. I will share Noli's way of cooking adobo, with just a slight variation because I made it a bit spicy. "wink"
Many of us like adobo so much that not a week passes by without having adobo in the weekly menu. On outings like going to the beach, adobo is always on the list.
I can imagine being in the beach now, the scent of charcoal burning, barbecue roasting on the grill; banana leaves set on the table of the cottage with mounds of rice, surrounded with inihaw na tilapia, bangus and squid; chopped itlog na maalat (salted eggs) and tomatoes; seaweeds... and of course... ADOBO!
Now what is different with my Noli-inspired adobo? You have to try this! Caramelized adobo that is crisp yet tender and oh-so delicious!

- Add the garlic. laurel leaves and ginger. Continue sauteeing and mixing until the pork becomes a bit crisp, hearing a crackling sound while frying.
- As soon as it has caramelized, add the chili peppers and mix again.
- The adobo should be fully caramelized, sticking to each other and looks and tastes really good and yummy!
- Transfer to a serving dish. Serve with rice and ice-cold drinks.
