  • 1/3 cup soy sauce

  • 2 tbs. cooking oil
  • salt to taste (if needed)
  • chopped green onion for garnishing (optional)




Instructions
  1. Combine soy sauce, vinegar, ground pepper, sugar and garlic. Mix well and taste test for desired salty sweet sour flavor.Add pork and chicken pieces to the soy sauce mixture. Mix well and refrigerate for at least an hour to marinate. Remove meat from the marinade and save remaining marinade for later use.

  4. Add chicken pieces and remaining marinade. Allow to boil for few minutes then reduce the heat to medium low and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes or until sauce starts to thickens. Add achuete diluted in oil, stir and mix well.
  5. Continue cooking until chicken and pork is fully cooked and sauce thickens. Transfer in a serving dish and top with chopped green onion and serve hot. Enjoy!
