Beef or Chicken Adobo



3 pounds meat (chicken legs or thighs were great!)
1/2 cup soy sauce -- Kikkoman
1/2 cup white vinegar
1 small onion -- sliced
3 cloves garlic -- chopped

Combine all ingredients in a pot or crock pot and cook. The longer it simmers, the more tender the meat will be.
The recipe is also very forgiving. If you don't like garlic, leave it out.
If you want to try it with ginger or hot peppers or anything else that you fancy, toss it in. Just don't mess with the soy/vinegar ratio.
And don't add any water because it makes lots of gravy.
This is the national dish of the Philippines. It can be made with chicken, pork, beef or any combination of the three.
ut I like it with chicken thighs best. I made this for New Year's Eve one year, and everyone thought it was wonderful.
