Adobong Sitaw (Green Beans)
A vegetarian version of the classic Filipino adobo, using green beans instead of meat. Tangy and savory.
Ingredients
- about 450 g Green beans
- 1/4 cup Soy sauce
- 1/4 cup White vinegar
- 4 cloves Garlic
- 2 leaves Bay leaves
- 1/2 tsp Black peppercorns
- 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.
Instructions
- 1Prepare the green beans and garlic: Trim the ends off the about 450 g of green beans and cut them into 5.08 cm pieces. Peel and finely chop the 4 cloves of garlic.
- 2Sauté the garlic: Heat the 2 tbsp of vegetable oil in a 25.4 cm skillet over medium heat (162.8°C / 163°C). Add the chopped garlic and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until it smells fragrant but has not yet turned brown.
- 3Add the main ingredients: Add the about 450 g of green beans, 1/4 cup of soy sauce, 1/4 cup of white vinegar, 2 bay leaves, and 1/2 tsp of black peppercorns to the skillet with the garlic.
- 4Simmer the beans: Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let it simmer for 15 to 20 minutes. Stir occasionally. The green beans are tender when they are easily pierced with a fork and have a bright green color.
- 5Finish and serve: Remove the bay leaves from the skillet. Serve the adobong sitaw hot, ideally with steamed rice.
