Costeletas de porco adobo

Ingredientes

• 2 lbs pork chops
• 4 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 5 cloves garlic (crushed)
• 3 tablespoons cane vinegar
• 2 teaspoons whole peppercorn
• 4-5 pieces dried bay leaves
• 1 cup water
• salt (to taste, if necessary)
• 3 tablespoons cooking oil

Modo de preparo

1. 1

   Heat the cooking oil in a wide, deep pan over medium-high heat.

2. 2

   Once the oil is hot, pan-fry the pork chops, turning them over once each side turns light to medium brown. This takes about 3 to 5 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the chops.

3. 3

   Add the garlic, peppercorns, and bay leaves. Continue to cook until the garlic turns light brown, about 2 to 3 minutes.

4. 4

   Pour in the water and soy sauce, then bring to a boil.

5. 5

   Cover and simmer until the liquid reduces to half, around 40 to 50 minutes. Add more water if needed.

6. 6

   Pour in the vinegar and let the liquid boil. Stir, then continue to cook uncovered for 10 minutes.

7. 7

   Add salt if needed. The soy sauce alone gives this dish enough saltiness, so adjust according to your preference.

8. 8

   Serve with steamed white rice. Share and enjoy!
