Adobong Sitaw with Chorizo (Filipino String Bean Adobo)
Adobong Sitaw with Chorizo is a quick Filipino string bean adobo made with crisp-tender sitaw, garlicky soy-vinegar sauce, and savory chorizo. Perfect with rice and easy enough for weeknights.
In a pot or pan, heat your cooking oil over medium heat.
2 tablespoon olive oil or cooking oil
Once the oil is hot, add your sliced garlic and onions. Sauté for 3-5 minutes, or until the onions become translucent and fragrant.
6 cloves garlic, ¾ cup onion
Add pork to the pan.Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pork is browned and releases its fat.
¼ pounds pork, sliced
Push the pork to one side of the pan. Add the chorizo slices and cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly browned.
2 links chorizos
Add the sitaw (yardlong beans) to the pan with the pork and chorizo. Stir to combine.
½ pounds sitaw
Now comes the flavorful adobo sauce! Pour in soy sauce, oyster sauce, vinegar, water, sugar, and ground black pepper. Stir well to coat all ingredients.
¼ cup soy sauce, ¼ cup vinegar, 2 teaspoon sugar, ½ cup water, ¼ teaspoon pepper, 1 teaspoon oyster sauce
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 10-15 until the pork is tender and the sitaw are cooked through but still crisp-tender.
Once everything is cooked through and the flavors are harmonious, turn off the heat. Serve your Adobong Sitaw hot with steamed rice for a satisfying Filipino meal!
Notes
Don’t overcook the sitaw, aim for crisp-tender.
Chorizo salt levels vary, so taste before adding extra soy sauce.
Let the vinegar simmer a few minutes to mellow the tang.
Regular green beans work too, just reduce cook time (hello, adobo green beans).
