Pork Adobo

How do you like your Pork Adobo? Saucy or dry? Adobo is one of the famous Filipino cuisine worldwide. You can use pork, chicken, beef and even fish.

You can use any types of meat and it’s braised with soy sauce and vinegar and lots of brown garlic.

When I came in the US, most of the question I’ve been asked by my colleagues is if I know how to cook Pork Adobo and if I can make one for them. To be honest, I have not tried cooked Pork Adobo before as it was readily available in restaurants in the Philippines. I just bought it.

But trying to fend for myself here in the US, I learned to cook it. I even learned to cook in different ways, like this slow cooked chicken adobo.

What I love about making adobo is it’s very simple to make using different ingredients as you can customize it. You can also use different types of meat when you make it.

WHAT IS PORK ADOBO?

It is the type of cooking when meat is braised to softness with soy sauce and vinegar. The garlic is browned and some spices are added to make it tastier.

DO YOU WANT YOUR ABODO SAUCY,OR DRY?

I love my adobo saucy instead of dry. My husband like his dry. I prefer to drench my rice with the acidic sauce.

And when you have lots of leftover, make it into Adobo fried rice.
