Yet another adobo recipe but I promise this one will be one of your favorites. It's super easy to make and is packed with so much flavor!

What you need

Classic adobo ingredients such as soy sauce, vinegar, garlic and peppercorn combined with mirin (Japanese Sweet Wine) are what you need to make the sauce. The mirin adds complexity, flavor and a touch of sweet too.

For a sweet and fruity taste, red bell peppers are added at the end of the cooking. There's no bay leaf in this adobo.

Why Pressure Cooker Adobo?

Pork Ribs are amazingly flavorful and make the best adobo with lesser fat compared to the ever-popular pork belly. But it's a tougher cut of meat that takes time to cook.

When cooking using a pressure cooker:

  • The meat becomes meltingly tender meat that it falls off the bone
  • The cooking time is shorter
  • Requires less tending
