Lara’s Amazing Adobo

Lara’s Amazing Adobo

Total Time 20 minutes
Servings 2 super hungry people

Ingredients

  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 500 g ground (minced) pork or chicken
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1-2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • iceberg lettuce or steamed rice to serve
  • cashews or peanuts optional

Instructions

For the slow cooker.

  1. Crush or grate the garlic. Place the garlic, meat and soy sauce in your slow cooker insert. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours.

For the stove top.

  1. Crush or grate the garlic. Heat a little oil in a wok or frying pan on a high heat. Cook meat, stirring to break up the chunks until the meat is no longer pink.
  2. Add the garlic and cook for another minute or so. Add the soy sauce and simmer for 5 minutes or until the sauce is well incorporated with the meat.

For both methods.

  1. When the adobo is cooked. Add the vinegar. Stir taste and season with more vinegar or some salt if needed. Generally it's delicious as is.
  2. Serve the savoury meat wrapped in the lettuce leaves or on top of the steamed rice. With cashews or peanuts sprinkled over for extra crunch.
