Adobong Sitaw

✓ USDA-verified nutrition data

Ingredients

• 1 lb String beans
• 1/4 cup Soy sauce
• 3 tbsp Cane vinegar
• 5 cloves Garlic
• 1/2 Onion
• 2 Bay leaves
• 1 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tsp Brown sugar

Steps

1. Trim the beans and cut into 2-inch lengths — uniform pieces cook evenly and look deliberate.
2. Sauté the onion and garlic 3 minutes, until the garlic turns golden at the edges.
3. Add the soy sauce, water, bay, pepper, and sugar; bring to a boil.
4. Pour in the vinegar and do not stir for 2 minutes — the adobo rule holds for vegetables too.
5. Add the beans, cover, and simmer 8 minutes, until tender-crisp and lacquered with sauce.
6. Uncover and cook 2 minutes more, letting the sauce reduce to a glaze. Serve hot over rice; the beans should shine.
