HOW TO COOK PORK ASADO (ASADONG BABOY)

Here is another traditional dish of the Filipino-The Asadong Baboy or Pork Asado. This dish is like the other dishes that are first being cooked before slicing. Asado is very simple to make and this recipe I am going to share with you is the easiest Pork Asado recipe yet way more delicious than other Asados you find in the web. There is no secret ingredient in my Asadong Baboy, just follow the procedure and you’ll see what will happen.  There are known ways how to cook Asado and one of these is the meat preference and the sauce. The Chinese have many unusual way of how to cook it. They are great chefs but sometimes you find taste that you are not used to because youre not Chinese at all and that ingredient is meant just for Chinese people. But if you are going to ask me, the best Pork Asado I had was cooked by my Chinese Friend. Also he has the best peking duck recipe.

I found another Asado recipe but I did not try it because it seemed to be creepy. It requires 5-spice powder ingredient. Are you okay? Where are your readers supposed to get that ingredient?  We are helping to solve their problem here, not giving them more problems to solve. Anyways, let forget about that recipe. I am trying to make it the easiest for you to do so if you feel like you want to add some ingredient, just do it. But be careful because too much ingredient can ruin your Asadong Baboy. If you are going to choose meat, take the pork tenderloin because it is better than the rubbery pork you buy from the small meatshop. Here is how to cook Asadong Baboy or Pork Asado.
