Notes
- 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!
