作法
- 於厚底鍋中放入豬肉、醋、醬油、蒜頭、月桂葉、胡椒粒與水。菲律賓鐵則：加醋後前10分鐘切勿攪拌——攪拌會激發醋的生澀，靜置烹煮可使其轉柔和。
- 煮至微滾。蓋鍋燉50分鐘，前10分鐘後可開始攪拌。豬肉應接近軟嫩；湯汁仍應充足。
- 用漏勺撈出豬肉備用。將湯汁開大火不蓋鍋燉10分鐘——醬汁應變稠、轉深琥珀色。
- 另一寬鍋大火熱油。將豬肉分批煎3分鐘至表面焦糖化、油脂釋出。家庭版有時省略此步；結果較軟但層次較少。
- 將煎好的豬肉放回收汁中。加入黃糖攪至融化。蓋鍋再燉15分鐘——醬汁應裹住每塊肉，呈光亮深色鹹酸塗層。
- 蓋鍋靜置10分鐘。Adobo經24小時後風味大幅提升。澆於熱白飯上，搭配煎大蕉(saba)或木瓜醃菜(atchara)享用。

文化背景
Adobo早於西班牙殖民——菲律賓醋鹽保存技術為前西班牙時期。西班牙人賦予其名（adobar=醃漬）但技術為原住民。地區變體數十種：adobong puti（民都洛，無醬油僅用醋）、adobo sa gata（比科爾，加椰漿）、adobong Manok（雞）、adobong dilaw（八打雁，以薑黃代醬油）。醋醬油蒜胡椒月桂為通用基礎，其餘為地方偏好。
