- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 1 pound pork belly, cut into thin strips
- 1 onion, peeled and sliced thinly
- 5 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
- ¾ cup vinegar
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- ½ cup water
- 1 bunch yard long beans (sitaw), ends trimmed and cut into 3-inch lengths
- salt and pepper to taste
- fried garlic bits, optional
In a skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Add onions and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened.
Add pork and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned.
Add vinegar and bring to a boil, uncovered and without stirring, for about 3 to 5 minutes.
Add soy sauce and water. Cover, lower heat and continue to cook until pork is cooked through and sauce is reduced.
Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium. Add long beans and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 3 to 5 minutes or until tender-crisp.
Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with fried garlic bits, if desired. Serve hot.
- Allow the vinegar to boil uncovered and without stirring for a few minutes before adding the other liquids to cook off the strong acid taste.
- To keep from overcooking the sitaw, allow the adobo sauce to reduce before adding the sitaw, increase the heat, and stir-fry the vegetable until tender.
- For an extra depth of flavor, stir in 1 to 2 tablespoons of oyster sauce.
- Want a bit of heat? Add dried red chili pepper flakes to taste!
