Notes

Cooking Tips for Pork Ribs Adobo: 

  1. Marinate for extra flavor: For an even more flavorful Pork Ribs Adobo, consider marinating the ribs in the adobo sauce overnight before cooking. This allows the meat to absorb the flavors deeply, resulting in a more robust and delicious dish.
  2. Adjust seasoning to taste: While the recipe provides a guideline for the amount of soy sauce, vinegar, and other seasonings, feel free to adjust them according to your personal taste preferences. Add more soy sauce for a saltier profile or increase the vinegar for a tangier kick. Experimentation can lead to your perfect balance of flavors.
  3. Finish with a caramelized touch: To add a delightful caramelized touch to your Pork Ribs Adobo, consider giving them a quick sear in a hot pan before serving. This step helps develop a delicious crust on the ribs, enhancing both the texture and flavor of the dish. Just be careful not to overcook the meat during the searing process.
