I like this recipe only because it's very close to a traditional Filipino dish called adobo. The only difference is using the same amount of asian vinegar as soy sauce instead of brown sugar and adding a bay leaf. Simple and very easy.

I am not a fan of pork; in fact, if it weren't my DH's favorite, I would never eat pork, but I sure did enjoy this! As promised, it was melt-in-your-mouth tender! Everyone thoroughly enjoyed it and there were absolutely none of the usual and anticipated left-overs (I always plan roast recipes to last for 2 meals). I will certainly be making this one again! Thank you for improving my perspective towards one of DH's favorite foods Mae!

This was fabulous!! I can't even describe how wonderful it was. I left this recipe for my husband to make while I was at work and it was apparently easy enough for him to handle, because it was done when I got home and the house smelled great. We had it with Rice Pilaf and string beans. All 4 kids scarfed this down and asked if there was more! The only complaint was that it didn't make enough. I was surprised that the sauce stayed as thin as it did, but the flavor was awesome and was great over the rice. Thanks for sharing this! I normally don't even like pork, but with this recipe, our whole family can enjoy it together. Thanks for sharing this...we all decided that this will be a regular around here!
