A delicious and protein-packed Macro-Friendly Filipino Pork Shoulder Adobo recipe, perfect for meal prep.

Scale

Marinate the pork shoulder by combining soy sauce, vinegar, water, minced garlic, bay leaves, and black peppercorns in a large bowl. Add pork cubes and coat well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Remove pork from marinade, reserving the marinade, and sear the pork cubes in batches until browned on all sides.
Return all the browned pork to the pot, pour in the reserved marinade, and bring to a gentle boil.
Reduce heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally, until the pork is tender.
If desired, add brown sugar during the last 15 minutes of cooking. Adjust seasoning with salt if needed.
Once the pork is fork-tender, remove the lid and let it simmer uncovered for an additional 10-15 minutes to thicken the sauce.
Serve hot, garnished with chopped green onions or cilantro over steamed rice or your favorite grain.

For maximum flavor, marinate the pork overnight.
Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less brown sugar according to your taste.
This dish can be served with rice or other grains for a complete meal.
