Sounds tasty - will try it next time. Too bad I didn't read this
yesterday. Last night I made pork adobo.

Cut pork butt into cubes, cover with water and boil for 5 minutes. Drain
water and rinse meat until water is clean. Add water almost to cover,
add shoyu, garlic, whole peppercorn, 4 or 5 bay leaves, a little ginger,
and vinegar. Boil for 40 minutes until tender and liquid is reduced. You
can serve it wet or how I like it, dry - remove cover and boil until the
liquid is almost gone and it starts splattering. As usual, serve with
steamed rice.
