I have made chicken adobo (with coconut milk) many times with very good results. This last week, I tried the following recipe for pork adobo:

And I was not very pleased with it. I thought it would be a slam dunk, but it just disappointed me.
Does anyone know of a good pork adobo recipe they can point me to?
Hi! Can I ask what country are you from? The term adobo is very common in mine, but I’d never eat one with coconut milk! I’d just go with the combination of soy sauce and vinegar.
Unwarranted tip: Add hard boiled eggs when it is almost done, for a more exciting meal!
I must chuckle at myself.
I am one of those extremely odd and strange people who likes very, very many things across many different cuisines…
…except eggs. Eggs and yellow Summer (or Fortune) squash.
EDIT: Note, I eat plenty of eggs in things. But, when I run into a whole boiled egg sitting in my food, or a fried egg on top of a bowl of bibimbap, I pick it out. Even more odd: I will eat tamagoyaki without a problem.
Haha! Hard-boiled eggs are best eggs!
Yeaaaah, I know people like them. It’s the whites that get me…
I’m in the US; the adobo I am trying to find is Filipino.
Filipinos like to make cooking videos on YouTube - if you search “Filipino pork adobo” on there you’ll get many. They have a distinctive accent so you’ll easily avoid the pretenders. It’s a fairly simple dish so it suits the video format.
IMO what went wrong with that first recipe you found is not enough soy sauce and it needs to simmer for much longer.
I can see that, I felt it just didn’t have enough “oomph” or “punch”.
