Adobong Sitaw

Ingredients:

1 bunch/sheaf string beans, Php 10 or $0.24
1 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup pancake syrup
2 tbsps sugar dissolved in half a cup of water
1 clove garlic
a generous sprinkling of black pepper (must not forget this!)


Slice the garlic while you heat the oil in the pan, or before you start heating the oil. If you want to save more time, you can actually do both simultaneously.

When the pan starts to smoke, drop the garlic and let it brown.

While the garlic is cooking, mix the soy sauce with the pancake syrup, sugar, and the pepper. While I had done everything so haphazardly in this video, I realized that it was hard mixing everything in such a shallow pan. So I think it would be best if you mixed all the ingredients of the sauce, before adding it to the string beans.

When the garlic is already brown enough for your taste, add the string beans to frying garlic.

Pour in the soy sauce mix. Let simmer, until the string beens look like they've soaked well enough in the sauce.

Serve and enjoy!

(You can also do the same thing for Kangkong. :D)
