Pork Adobo with green bean adobo

Filipino chicken adobo is the national dish of the Philippines, perfect for this hot summer! There are many variations, I sometimes add boiled eggs and fried tofu in with some black sweet soy sauce, oyster sauce, ginger and caramelized pineapple to get amazing thick dark glaze for my fried rice and sautéed vegetables. I used my everyday ingredients in my pantry and made Filipino pork adobo with my students today. It was us much fun! Some students used chicken thighs, some used pork belly and some used both in this recipe. All turned out so well. I hope you give it a try and let me know what you think!
