Hi Max,

It's a few years later but I decided to try this in the instant pot using instant pot adobo recipes as a model. I did steps 1-6 stovetop and then transferred everything with the soy sauce, water, peppercorn, and bay leaves to the instant pot, but you can do these beginning steps in the instant pot using the Saute function too (I just think stovetop gives a better sear). I reduced the water to 1/2 cup and soy sauce to a little under 1/2 cup, then pressure cooked on high for 15 minutes with 15 minute natural release. I added the sugar and 1 tsp corn starch and simmered an additional 12 minutes using the Saute function (on high), then added the pineapple with a final 2 minute simmer. It's not super fast, but got the pork super tender (this probably would have taken at least 1.5 hours on the stovetop for this level of tenderness).

This is such a good recipe, my husband said it was probably one of the most perfect meals I've ever cooked. I've made it both 100% stovetop and instant pot and highly recommend it either way.

Family loves this dish. We sometimes add veg too, green beans or broccoli, or both.

Hi Lalaine,
I enjoy the way you write your introductions as much as your recipes. Sometimes, the introductions are very funny and I like the way you format your site. The notes and extra information in each recipe is very helpful. Excellent photography too. The recipes are very well written and easy to follow. Your site is bookmarked in my laptop and is my go-to-site every time I am pining for Filipino food.
I will try this recipe today and I am sure the family will enjoy it. Keep up the good work and my best wishes to you and your family.

For Pork Hamonado:

You mentioned that the pineapple juice will be used to braise the pork but you didn’t give instructions on how to do it.

Thank you!

I made this tonight with cut up pieces of leaner pork and it turned out delicious. The pork was very tender and the sauce was both savory and sweet with the pineapple chunks.
