Emily Cooks - Adobo

My sister in law Emily was so nice to teach me how to make some Filipino cuisine before she went home. We made Adobo, a pork dish and Pancit Bihon, a rice noodle dish. Both are excellent and full of flavor.

First, the Adobo.
4 pounds pork (you can use however much you need, this served 6 with left overs for about 4 more)
vegetable oil
1/2 onion
3 cloves garlic
Banana sauce
soy sauce
sugar cane vinegar (Sukang Maasing)
black pepper

Coat skillet on high with oil.
Add garlic, brown then add onion until soft. Add pork and sprinkle with black pepper.
Add soy sauce and make sure you hit all the meat. Add 2c water. Bring to boil, cover and simmer on med high for 40 minutes, stirring as necessary. Add about 1/4 cup of banana sauce, continue to simmer until the sauce is reduced to be thick. Just before serving add 1 cap full of vinegar.
