1/2 pound ground pork
2 teaspoons soy sauce cheaper the better - but not the kind made of hair
2 teaspoons vinegar
2 teaspoons fish sauce patis
2 teaspoons brown sugar or regular sugar
2 cloves minced garlic
1 onion small, chopped
black pepper
salt
2 eggs
green onions optional
dashi
steamed rice preferably short grain rice

1
Make the marinade by mixing the vinegar, soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar garlic, and a good amount of black pepper and combine with the ground pork. Let it sit for a while.
2
Heat a pan with some oil and start browning the chopped onion. Combine the ground pork and cook by continuing to separate the meat until you have a nice melange of cooked ground pork.
3
You can cook in some chopped green onions at this point to lighten the heaviness of the pork.
4
You can actually prepare this ahead of time, but make some tamagoyaki and cut neatly into cubes. Tamagoyaki = egg + splash of dashi + bit of sugar. Folded while cooked.
5
Then in a bowl, layer on your desired amount of rice, cover with the adobo pork and top with cubed tamagoyaki.
