250 grams of ground lean pork
2 bunches of sitaw (string beans), cut into 2-inch lengths
1 head of garlic, peeled and crushed
1 onion or 2 shallots, peeled and thinly sliced
1 bay leafground black pepper
1/4 c. of vinegarabout
3 tbsps. of soy sauce
2 tbsps. of vegetable cooking oil

1-2 hardboiled eggschopped cilantro and red pepper flakes for garnish
Adobong Sitaw Cooking Instructions:
Place the ground pork, garlic, onion or shallots, ground pepper and bay leaf in a shallow cooking pan.
Pour the vegetable cooking oil over. Because of the leanness of the pork, I didn’t want the meat to turn dry so the purpose of adding cooking oil is to help it retain its succulence.
Pour in the vinegar and cook over medium-high heat until the vinegar starts to boil.
Stir, breaking up the meat.
Pour in the soy sauce and stir well.
Cover and simmer for about 10 minutes.
Add the sitaw (string beans), stir, cover and simmer for another 10 to 15 minutes or until the (string beans) sitaw is tender.
