Pork Adobo and Green Beans

The momentum is on! Cathelyn had another free afternoon, that means no long homework for the day. So I was happy when she volunteered to make dinner. She bought some green beans to accompany the pork adobo. We have a very enjoyable time eating our "comfort food" dinner.

Ingredients
2 lbs. pork shoulder, cut-up
1 cup [Silver Swan] soy sauce
1 cup [Datu Puti] white vinegar
1 head garlic, peeled
1 tbsp. whole black pepper

2 lbs. green beans, cut-up to 1 inch long
1 [Vidalia] sweet onion, minced
1 stick of butter
2 tbsp. oyster sauce
dash of salt





Preparation/Cooking Time: 1 hour

1. In a Dutch oven pot, put the pork, soy sauce, 
    vinegar, garlic, and pepper.
2. Cook the pork adobo until the liquid is almost
    dried up, about an hour, but be careful not to
    burn the meat.
3. When the pork has been cooking for 30
     minutes, start cooking the green beans in
     another pan.
4.  Melt the butter in medium heat.
5.  Add the onions and sauté for 10 minutes until
     transparent.
6.  Add the green beans and oyster sauce.
7.  Cover the pan and cook the beans for 20 minutes.
8.  Add a dash of salt.
9.  Serve the pork adobo and green beans with white rice.
