CROCK POT OR STOVE TOP FILIPINO CHICKEN ADOBO – JUST LIKE HOW MY MOTHER COOK IT

This Adobo recipe I am sharing  with you today is just how my grandma,my uncles,aunties and my mom make it. I am even certain that all of the Filipinos around the world cook their Adobo the same way, uhmm, maybe with a little tweak.This is  the authentic and basic  version; then if you will become confident enough on making this, you can add your flare and maybe add ginger in them or a bit more of onions; but your Adobo dish should come out a bit sour and a bit sweet since that is how an Adobo should taste. It is so easy, I promise. ..  You can make this on a stove pot or a crock pot. I, however,  made this Adobo in a crock pot since I went out to watch Ant Man ( have you seen it ,very nice movie btw? ) and then went and hang out in Barnes and Noble with the kids. When I came back home after 4 hours, it is done!

You can also do the same! You can crock pot this Adobo  in the morning at low so that by the time  you come home from work,  or from the gym , it is ready.

Adobo is a Filipino delicacy. When you go to California or in places where there are Filipinos all over, Adobo is  always talked about… now, you can finally understand the hype, why this Filipino delicacy is so famous. You can play pretend after a long days work and imagine that you are in my country, lounging on a chair with mango on one hand while waiting for this Adobo to cook.

So delicious and even better the next day…

CROCK POT OR STOVE TOP CHICKEN ADOBO – JUST LIKE HOW MY MOM COOK IT

I was once interviewed for a certain job. It was tense and scary . I talked about my skills and I was met with suspicion, until there was a part in the interview that I mentioned I am a Filipino. The atmosphere changed  like a switch-from tense to jovial… the questions were diverted into Filipino foods. She /we talked about Lumpia, Pansit and Adobo. She asked me about adobo ingredients  which I answered perfectly. I got that job obviously, hopefully because of my skills, but I have an inkling feeling that it was because I promised her that I will teach her how to make Adobo…

This Adobo recipe I am sharing with you today is just how my grandma,my uncles,aunties and my mom make it. This is the authentic and basic adobo version; then if you will become confident enough on making this, you can add your flare and maybe add ginger in them or a bit more of onions; but your adobo dish should come out a bit sour and a bit sweet since that is how an adobo should taste. It is so easy, I promise. .. You can make this on a stove pot or a crock pot.

Throughout my tenure, I can tell that Adobo is  indeed her favorite among the Filipino foods because that is all she talked about whenever she saw me. She even made her own Adobo after I gave her this recipe. I made her Pansit and Lumpia which she was grateful about. I am no longer in that job. I realized I need to venture on a more challenging conversations other  than my Adobo recipe but today, however, I am again talking about Adobo and I am sharing the recipe with you.

    Thank you for this recipe!!! I altered it a little because I like mine a little sweeter. But this was as close to my mom's adobo and would have to say it was actually better! Loved it!!! My husband loved it too and he rarely eats Filipino food
