THE SECRET TO MAKE KILLER SPRITE PORK ADOBO!!!

Ingredients

• 2 pcs Onion (medium, chopped)
• 6 cloves Garlic (chopped)
• 1 kg Pork Belly (cut into chunky cubes)
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Ground Black Pepper
• 2 Tbsp Soy Sauce (regular or light soy sauce)
• 2 Tbsp Oyster Sauce
• 2 cup Sprite (or any lemon‑lime soda)
• 2 pcs Bay Leaves (dried)
• 1 tsp Whole Peppercorns
• 1 Tbsp Vegetable Oil (for pan‑frying)
• 3 Tbsp Cane Vinegar

Instructions

1. Saute aromatics

   Heat the skillet over high flame. Add the chopped onions and sauté for about 20 seconds, then add the chopped garlic and continue sautéing for another 10 seconds.

   Time: PT1M

   Temperature: high flame

2. Render pork and season

   Add the pork belly cubes to the pan. Sprinkle ½ tsp salt and ground black pepper. Saute, allowing the fat to render and the meat to brown, about 5 minutes.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: high flame

3. Add soy and oyster sauce

   Stir in 2 Tbsp soy sauce and 2 Tbsp oyster sauce. Continue to sauté on high flame until the sauces reduce and the oil separates, about 2 minutes.

   Time: PT2M

   Temperature: high flame

4. Slow simmer with Sprite

   Pour in 2 cups of Sprite, add the 2 dried bay leaves and 1 tsp whole peppercorns. Reduce the flame to low and let it simmer gently for 1 hour, adding water if the liquid evaporates too much.

   Time: PT1H

   Temperature: low flame

5. Pan‑fry the meat

   After the hour, remove the meat from the sauce and set the sauce aside. Add a little cooking oil to the pan and return the meat, pan‑frying on medium‑high flame for about 5 minutes until the surface is slightly crisp.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: medium‑high flame

6. Finish with vinegar

   Return the reserved adobo sauce to the pan, stir in 3 Tbsp vinegar, and slow‑cook for another 5 minutes, stirring to avoid burning.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: low flame

7. Final reduction and serve

   If you prefer a thicker sauce, continue reducing on low flame until desired consistency is reached. Serve the pork belly hot with a spoonful of the adobo sauce.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: low flame
