Pork Ribs Adobo Recipe

In a large pot, mix pork, soy sauce, vinegar, crushed garlic, crushed peppercorns, bay leaf, and water. Let marinate overnight in the refrigerator. 

Place the pot of adobo on the stove over medium heat. Bring to a boil then lower heat to a simmer and cover. Simmer the pork ribs until tender, about 1 to 2 hours. Add more water as needed to prevent the adobo from drying out. (Alternatively, simmer in a pressure cooker for 45 minutes then simmer until most of the water has evaporated.) 

Once tender, remove the pork ribs from the pot and set aside to dry. Meanwhile, heat a frying pan over medium heat and add enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Pan fry the pork ribs, in batches if needed, until browned. Transfer to a plate and set aside. 

In the pot with the sauce, bring back to a simmer. Simmer until about 1/2 cup sauce is left. Mix the cornstarch slurry and the chili-garlic sauce together, and pour the mixture into the pot. Let cook until thickened, stirring. Place the pork ribs back into the pot with the glaze and toss to coat. remove from the heat and serve while hot.
