Adobo nga Hantak / Latoy ( Sitaw )

No matter what it is called in your place, we can all agree that string beans are delicious when made into an adobo dish. 

While it is mostly mixed with other vegetables when cooked like in pinakbet, kare-kate, sinigang or ginata-an, sitaw can be on its very own when cooked adobo. But I'be also tried a combination of sitaw and puso ng saging adobo which is exceptionally very good!

And making string beans adobo is quite easy too! It can be as simple as plain beans or  with some ground pork but it can be a gourmet as having lechon kawali as toppings.

So are you ready for some Sitaw Adobo? Check out this simple recipe

Ingredients

• 12 pcs string beans, washed, sliced 1" in length
• 1/2 cup vinegar, adjustable
• 2-3 tablespoon, soy sauce
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 4 cloves garlic, chopped
• 1 cup ground meat, optional
• Salt and pepper to taste

How to make Adobong Sitaw

1. In a pan, saute onion and garlic. 
2. Mix in ground meat.
3. When cooked add string beans and stir fry.
4. Add soy sauce and vinegar.Bring to a boil
5. Season with salt and pepper. Make some final taste adjustments.
6. Serve as a side dish or a main veggie dish.

All the measurements are just guides. Sometimes I make this adobo using beans cut 2-3 inches and that is when I use pork slices which I tend to fry a bit for that extra crunch.

To make the puso ng saging-sitaw combination, just add the puso first then around halfway, add the beans. I fend to make it oilier too. Enjoy!
