Adobo sauce recipe

Apparently adobo sauce is one of the first dish that Filipinos learn to cook.

You could also use pork spare ribs for this dish.

The traditional Filipino dish uses suka vinegar, but as that's not likely to be available in Europe, we have substituted it with balsamic vinegar. Black rice vinegar is also a very good substitute.
