Filipino Adobo Spareribs Recipe

Filipino · Main course · 105 min total

A rich and tangy Filipino classic where pork spareribs are braised in a savory soy-vinegar sauce with garlic, peppercorns, and bay leaves until tender and caramelized.

Ingredients

• 2 lbs pork spareribs, cut into individual ribs
• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 1/2 cup cane vinegar or white vinegar
• 1 cup water
• 6 cloves garlic, crushed
• 1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
• 3 bay leaves
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons cooking oil
• Salt to taste

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine spareribs, soy sauce, vinegar, water, garlic, peppercorns, bay leaves, and brown sugar. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.
2. Heat oil in a heavy pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Remove ribs from marinade (reserve marinade) and sear in batches until browned on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per batch.
3. Pour the reserved marinade into the pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 hour or until ribs are tender, stirring occasionally.
4. Remove the lid and increase heat to medium. Cook for another 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and coats the ribs. Season with salt if needed.
5. Serve hot over steamed rice.

Tips

• For a richer flavor, use dark soy sauce.
• Leftovers taste even better the next day.
• Can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
