Adobong Sitaw with Chorizo
Crisp-tender yardlong beans simmered adobo-style in garlic, soy sauce, and vinegar, with pork and Chinese chorizo for smoky, savory depth. The chorizo releases a reddish oil as it cooks that coats the whole pan. Ready in about 25 minutes and built for a bowl of rice.

Notes
- Let the vinegar simmer for 2-3 minutes before stirring. This cooks off the raw sharpness so the sauce turns out rounded, not harsh.
