Ingredients
- 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
Instructions
- 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.
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!
