FAQ
Common questions about this product.
What specific cut of meat is the Adobo Cut and what makes it ideal for adobo cooking?
The Adobo Cut is a specially prepared pork shoulder cut, expertly trimmed and cubed into uniform 2-inch pieces perfect for traditional Filipino adobo. This cut comes from the pork kasim (shoulder), which has the ideal balance of lean meat and marbling fat that breaks down beautifully during slow braising. The generous fat content ensures your adobo stays moist and flavorful, while the meat becomes fork-tender after simmering in vinegar and soy sauce.
How should I store the Adobo Cut and what's its shelf life when refrigerated?
Your TenderBites Adobo Cut arrives vacuum-packed with cold chain packaging to maintain optimal freshness. When stored in the refrigerator at 4°C or below, the vacuum-packed meat stays fresh for up to 5-7 days from delivery date. For longer storage, you can freeze the unopened package for up to 3 months without compromising quality. Always check that the vacuum seal remains intact and transfer to proper containers once opened.
Can I request custom portioning or different cube sizes for my Adobo Cut order?
Absolutely! TenderBites offers custom butcher cuts to match your cooking preferences and family size needs. You can request smaller 1-inch cubes for faster cooking, larger 3-inch chunks for heartier servings, or even specify lean-to-fat ratios based on your taste. Simply indicate your preferred specifications when placing your order online, through social media, or by contacting our butchers directly for personalized cutting services.
Is the pork used in the Adobo Cut locally sourced and fresh?
Yes, our Adobo Cut comes from premium locally-sourced pork that meets strict NMIS quality standards and food safety protocols. We work directly with trusted local suppliers who raise their pigs humanely, ensuring consistently fresh, high-quality meat. Each cut is prepared fresh to order by our expert butchers and immediately vacuum-packed to preserve freshness from our facility to your kitchen.
What's the recommended cooking method and time for the best results with this cut?
For perfect adobo, brown the cubed pork pieces first in a heavy-bottomed pot to develop rich flavors, then add your vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, and bay leaves. Simmer covered for 45-60 minutes until the meat becomes fork-tender and the sauce reduces to your desired consistency. The marbling in our Adobo Cut ensures the meat stays juicy throughout the cooking process, while the uniform cube size guarantees even cooking and optimal sauce absorption.
