Adobo sa Gata
Adobo sa gata is pork braised in vinegar, soy sauce, and coconut milk with heavy amounts of garlic and a little heat from bird’s eye chilies. You can use either pork shoulder or pork belly, depending on how fatty you like your meat. The adobo is best served with heaping piles of steamed rice.
