Recipes with pork

Ground pork and green beans adobo

A fast cooking meat and vegetable dish bursting with the flavors and aroma of Filipino adobo.

Often cooked with sitaw (yard-long beans), ground pork adobo cooks faster by substituting green beans. Serve over steaming rice for a one bowl meal.

Balsamic pork and pineapple adobo

An exciting twist to an old favorite. Add a new brand of acidity to Filipino pork adobo by cooking the meat with balsamic vinegar, and adding chunks of fresh pineapple for a bit of sweetness.

Katsudon

Japanese fried breaded pork cutlet (tonkatsu) joins eggs in sweet-salty broth, and the combo goes over a bowl of rice. It’s hard not to fall in love with Japanese food with dishes like katsudon.

Kimchi soup with pork and tofu

It’s not jjigae (which is a stew) and it’s not traditional Korean kimchi soup either. The heat is milder, there’s a subtle sweetness and the soup base is decidedly Japanese.
