This pork adobo recipe is packed with flavor and so easy to make using basic ingredients. So delicious specially when served over steamed or even garlic rice for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The longer the left over adobo stays in the fridge, the taste gets better. I also like using left over pork adobo as pandesal sandwich spread. Give it a try!

There are so many versions on how to cook pork adobo. Some likes to marinate the meat first before cooking and others like to cook it with coconut milk.
