For a richer flavor, consider marinating the pork in the adobo sauce for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight) before cooking. Adjust the soy sauce and vinegar ratio to your preference. Some prefer a tangier adobo, while others favor a saltier profile. Adding a pinch of brown sugar or a drizzle of honey can balance the acidity and enhance the depth of flavor. Adobo is traditionally made with pork belly for extra richness, but lean pork shoulder or loin also work well. Serve with a side of pickled papaya (Atchara) to cut through the richness of the dish.
