Easy Filipino Adobo
"Nearly three years ago, before most Americans could pronounce sinigang, let alone find a place to enjoy the sour soup, Andrew Zimmern predicted Filipino cuisine would soon become the darling of diners who collect restaurant experiences like seashells on the beach. Zimmern is not surprised, nor is he particularly impressed with his prophecy skills. As a globe-trotting food hunter, Zimmern has a rare vantage point from which he can monitor world cuisines." (from the Washington Post)
Filipino adobo is a staple dish in the Philippines. It's easy-to-prepare, does not rot easily so it's the perfect dish for potlucks and beach trips, and the taste gets better in each reheat. The sweet and tangy taste of the dish is sooooooo addicting! Adobo is a perfect pair to steaming white rice.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Marinate the meat, Sprite, soy sauce, vinegar, 3-4 pieces of laurel leaf, and half clove garlic in a bowl for at least 30 minutes. Overnight marinade would be better.
- 2
Put oil in a pan and sauté half clove garlic but do not toast.
- 3
Using a tong or a ladle with strainer, stir in the meat and wait for it to absorb the garlicky flavor, and let the natural oil of the meat ooze out.
- 4
Once oil of the meat has naturally come out, stir in the marinade mixture. If more sauce is preferred, mix in equal parts of vinegar and soy sauce.
- 5
Mix in sugar, pepper, and laurel leaves, and let everything simmer until meat becomes tender.
- 6
Adjust taste with more sugar, pepper, or soy sauce according to the level of sweetness, spice, or saltiness preferred.
- 7
If you like to enjoy a twist to this traditional Filipino dish, put in about two handfuls of feta cheese cubes on the last five minutes of cooking. The taste of feta balances the tangy taste of the adobo.

Savory and darkly colored from the reduction of soy sauce. I've added a few non traditional ingredients like xiaoxing, red pepper, onions, and some gelatin to give the reduction body, but I assure you the additions are worth it. I like to use whole peppercorns and smash them, but if you just have ground black pepper use about 1 tsp instead of 1 Tbsp of whole.
