For a richer flavor, use dark soy sauce instead of regular soy sauce. A splash of fish sauce can add an extra layer of umami. Adjust the amount of vinegar and soy sauce to your preference for tanginess and saltiness. Adobo is traditionally served with rice to soak up the flavorful sauce.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a stock pot, combine the pork and chicken. Massage with crushed garlic and torn bay leaves. Season lightly with freshly ground black pepper. Pour in vinegar and soy sauce, ensuring the meat is well coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for a minimum of 2 hours, or preferably overnight. (Marinating time: 2+ hours or overnight)
02
StepTransfer the marinated meat and liquid to a cast iron casserole or Dutch oven. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Cook until the meat is incredibly tender, approximately 30 minutes, adding water as needed to prevent the sauce from drying out. (Cooking time: 30 minutes)
03
StepStrain the meat, reserving the flavorful liquid. Discard the bay leaves. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the pork and chicken on all sides for a rich, caramelized crust. Reduce heat to medium and add the remaining smashed garlic cloves. Cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes until fragrant. (Cooking time: 2 minutes)
04
StepPour the reserved cooking liquid back into the skillet. Continue to simmer until the sauce reduces slightly and thickens to a glossy consistency. (Simmering time: Varies, until thickened). Serve hot over steamed rice, and garnish with chopped green onions, if desired.
