Adobong Asparagus

Adobong Asparagus
Adobong Asparagus. Most of the time when we are overseas we are always on the lookout at the vegetable counters of supermarkets for type of vegetables that are appropriate to a Pinoy dish. And most of the time it is not available especially when you are on a place where there are not many Asian residents. We end up substituting our vegetable on our Pinoy dishes or recipe for something similar vegetable and try to innovate.

Asparagus Adobo with Pork

These time I try to substitute my Adobong Kangkong with asparagus, asparagus is readily available and reasonable priced outside Manila or overseas. For this versin of Adobong Asparagus I added generous quantity of pork, for the reason that I wanted it especial. Now if you prefer it without the meat or with just enough to add flavour is fine, perhaps I could make another post of adobong asparagus without the pork. Here is the recipe of my Adobong Asparagus

Ingredients:

Asparagus

2 bunch asparagus, trimmed, cut into 2” lengths, separate the stems
1/4 kilo pork belly, cut into strips
1/2 head garlic, crushed
1 small size onion, chopped
1/4 cup vinegar
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/2 tsp. peppercorns, crushed
cooking oil
salt to taste

Cooking procedure:
