Pork chops adobo or adobong pork chop are one variation of an adobo dish in the Philippines. It is similar to many types of adobo; however, the cut of meat differs. This time we are using a pork chop cut. There are many ways of cooking adobo depending on the province where it is made. The process is similar to traditional marinating, sauteing, and stewing. Some locals do not marinate the meat and some do. In this case, we recommend the pork chops be marinated for at least an hour in order to ensure the juices have soaked into the meat. If you don’t want to marinate, by all means, do it in your preferred way and the outcome should be fine. The concept, however, is to make sure three ingredients are present in your dish: soy sauce, vinegar, and garlic. Whatever the method you use to make adobo, the taste is similar. Adobo is adobo and that’s what Filipino’s have grown up with. This dish is great for picnics and other special gatherings. If you have pork chops at home, why not making this authentic recipe today.
