Adobong Sitaw Recipe

Adobong Sitaw is a vegetable dish composed of string beans cooked adobo style. As you might have noticed, almost all ingredients can be cooked using the famous adobo style – be it meat or vegetables. Chicken Adobo, Pork Adobo, Adobong Kambing, and Adobong Pusit are just few of the adobo dishes that we have featured – so far

Using pork in this recipe is optional. If you are one of our vegan friends, you can still enjoy this dish even when pork is not around. I only included pork in this recipe to add a little meaty taste to it, since I am a certified carnivore – as you might have known by now.

I like this healthy vegetable recipe not just by its nutritional value, making adobo out of string beans brings out this vegetable’s natural flavor which is often over powered by other vegetables and ingredients in dishes such as Pakbet Tagalog, Pakbet Ilocano, Kare Kare, and Sinigang.

Are string beans one of your favorite vegetables? What other string bean dishes do you like?

    I have been abroad for so many years and was wondering why I haven’t thought about making this dish when my husband and son love pork adobo. My dad used to make this and it’s always good with or without pork. I hope I get it right the first time

    We are trying your recipe tonight. I am Italian-American but my wife if from Metro-Manila. We live in Montana and have a big garden …which this year produced an incredible number of green beans. So she started asking me to make a recipe for beans, Adobo style. So tonight we are cooking your recipe …and will be eating it in a few minutes. Since our beans are fully matured and we are at a high altitude (5500 ft) we are cooking this recipe for about 20 minutes instead of the 3-5 minutes you recommend.
    Next we will be trying your recipe for Beef Kaldereta.
    Thank you.

      Hi Richard, it’s good to hear from you. I think that having a big garden is exciting. I only get to have green beans when my local Asian store has it, which is not so often. I agree, you will need to cook it longer in low to medium heat in order for the string beans to be soft, but it won’t be crisp though. Let me know how it went.

    If you want the strings beans to be more softer add the vinegar last. this is for those people who want the vegetables to be soft and not crunchy/half cook like me 😀
