The way I can describe this pork ribs adobo sa gata is the usual pork adobo cooked in vinegar, soy sauce, aromatics, spices and added with coconut milk. It is a pork adobo with a twist. If I’m not mistaken, this regional version of the pork adobo originates from Bicol or somewhere in the Visayas where there are plentiful of dishes cooked in coconut milk and coconuts abound. If you know how to cook adobo, I’m sure cooking adobo sa gata is a breeze.
