Pork Adobo with Sitaw Recipe

Pork adobo with sitaw is a good dish that you can prepare for your family during ordinary days. It is delicious, easy to cook, and perfect when paired with a warm cup of rice. I got a chance to give the regular pork adobo a twist by cooking it with snake beans or sitaw. It is simply regular pork adobo with sitaw added towards the end.

I got the idea while checking my inventory in the fridge. I saw some extra snake beans. I got it as an ingredient for the sinigang na hipon that we enjoyed over the weekend. I was about to cook regular pork adobo, but I opted to add the remaining sitaw for two reasons: (1) I don’t want the remaining sitaw to go to waste (2) it has been a while since I had this. I cannot remember how good it was.

Well, I’m glad that I did this dish. It was really yummy! However, I lost control and was able to consume more than a cup of rice (I won’t tell you the exact count, hihi). It is like having adobong sitaw and pork adobo at the same time.

There is a small difference between this recipe and regular adobong sitaw. This is tastier, probably because of the fat from the liempo. It is also a bit sweet (in a good way) because of the brown sugar. I’m glad that I did this.
