Pork adobo is a classic Filipino dish where pork is simmered in a savory mixture of soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, bay leaves, and black pepper. The slow cooking process tenderizes the meat and allows it to absorb the rich, tangy flavors. It's served with steamed rice and is known for its deep, umami taste. Adobo is a versatile dish, with variations including adding potatoes or coconut milk.
