PORK ADOBO WITH SPRITE AND OYSTER SAUCE

Adobo is one of the most popular Filipino dish. Pork is the most common meat but you can also make it using Chicken. This stewed dish has a balance of salty, sweet, sour, savory and perfectly tender simmered in Sprite.
​That's right, this is different from the typical Adobo you know. Instead of water, itis simmered in its' own marination and lemon-lime soda (Sprite or 7 Up) which gives it some sweetness and tanginess when oyster sauce is added. I thought of combining both to make a perfect Adobo. 

Adobo is best served with plain white rice. I love mine served with eggs as well. But I made Adobo fried rice as I happened to have leftover rice in the fridge.
​After cooking the Adobo, your work will have some seasonings and or extra sauce sticking on it so please do not wash it off with water and throw away those good flavors. Just add the rice and stir until rice is well incorporated with the leftover sauce and voila, you now have Adobo Fried Rice.
