How to Make Adobo Filipino Style
- In a large pot, combine 1 lb bone-in chicken thighs (or pork shoulder), 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup cane vinegar, 1/4 cup water, 6 cloves garlic (minced), 1 teaspoon black peppercorns, 2 bay leaves, and 1 tablespoon brown sugar. Let stand for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 1 hour, or until the meat is incredibly tender.
- Carefully remove the meat from the pot and set aside. Strain the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, reserving the liquid; discard the solids.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the meat to the skillet and brown on all sides for about 5-7 minutes, ensuring a beautiful sear.
- Transfer the browned meat to a serving dish and set aside.
- Pour off any excess oil from the skillet, leaving behind the flavorful browned bits.
- Add the reserved sauce to the skillet and bring to a simmer. Cook for 1-2 minutes, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan to create a rich and flavorful sauce.
- Remove the bay leaves before serving.
- Pour the flavorful sauce over the meat and serve immediately over warm sticky rice.
