Pork Adobo

One of my favorite dish is Pork Adobo. I learned to cook this dish from my mother.

My husband sometimes called this dish as sour pork, hehehe!  because I remember when I first cook adobo, I accidentally put a lot of vinegar then I also added lemon. So, when it was cook and tasted, it was so sour. Then, I practice and practice cooking. Although, it is still not perfect but at least good enough for my family.

Pork Adobo is a Filipino dish and one of the most favorite for all Filipinos around the world. The pork meat is slowly cook with soy sauce and vinegar. This dish is so simple and very easy to cook but the taste is just so delicious and everybody can't resist to taste it. Weeh di nga? hahaha....

I really have cravings for pork adobo since last month because its been a while that I haven't cook this dish. Tonight, I decided to cook pork adobo as a treat for my family and of course for me. My family loves this dish. They really enjoyed the supper.
