The Famously Delicious ADOBO~

[Lee Rhyne]

Adodo, is a stew of pork or chicken meat, or a combination of both. The meat is simmered until tender in vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, bayleaf, black peper, and oil.

It is believed to be of Spanish origin wherein the word ADOBO means "Marinated Meat."

Other versions might include pineapples, or cooked with coconut milk which is usually known as "Adobo sa Gata."

adobo in cebu is not the same with adobo in manila. :)

cebu's adobo is deep fried crispy pork. :) yum!

[Lee Rhyne]

Well since Adobo is one of our unique Filipino dish, every part of the country has different versions of Adobo. And that is why it is unique and distinct. And many foreigners and tourists like the dish.

[moohlan]

The adobo that I like looks like this:

http://www.cowboygrill.ph/images/gallery/products/zoom/chicken_pork_adobo.jpg

Has some sauce but not too much. I don't like the "taba", though.

But that picture of Adobo from Cebu is different, yet it also looks tasty. I want to try that one when I visit Cebu.:)

[purpleaf]

I only eat Chicken Adobo. Yeah, different parts have different ways of cooking adobo! Some likes it salty, some likes it sweet. Some likes it oily or masabaw, some likes it dry. But I think all adobos rock!

What I like about adobo, the longer it sits, the tastier!

It's also a great "baon" or packed food for long trips!!!

[megan21]

that looks like humba. :)

[wanderlust]

I like adobo that has little sauce. Something like "tuyong adobo."

[Cess]

I prefer the adobo with plenty of sauce. tasty. yum yum :D:D

[Lee Rhyne]

@everybody: What do you prefer? The salty (conventional Adobo) or the sweet (Asado type)?

[jbrayos]

have you heard of adobong hantik?

[stella]

have you heard of adobong hantik?

What's that? What's that made of?

[purpleaf]

yeah, what's that? Hmm...my guess would be adobong reptile or something... Haha!

Great "baon", I agree with you. But aside from that, the crunchy/crispy adobo that I showed can be best for "pulutan". Chopped into small bites, dip into vinegar with pounded garlic & chili pepper, a little of kikkoman sauce or just any soy sauce, whooaah! Sooo mouthdrippin' crunchy adobo!

[stella]

Can you make adobo out of dogs? Personally, I find it revolting to eat dogs. I mean, they;re supposed to be man's best friends....but all they say is, that dogs are delicious. :(

[megan21]

That's the adobo of bystanders. hahaha.. :D The thought of it makes me sick. :(

[purpleaf]

Is this what they call "azucena"? Or that's a different recipe?
I don't like the thought of Bantay or Tagpi being served on the table!

[jbrayos]

Hantik are those giant ants. Adobong aso? gross!

[stella]

Hantik are those giant ants. Adobong aso? gross!

You can make adobo out of ants too?!

[moohlan]

@everybody: What do you prefer? The salty (conventional Adobo) or the sweet (Asado type)?

I like the salty one.

I agree that adobo is one of the most handy baon of all time.:)

[MissLee]

You should try adobo flakes. You can buy it in groceries.

Best paired with 'sunny-side-up' fried egg and sinangag.

[stella]

What about adobong bagoong and maluto na adobo? They're delicious! Especially maluto na adobo. You wrap it up in banana leaves along with rice.:p

[kookay]

I like adobo that has little sauce. Something like "tuyong adobo."

If you want dry adobo, try the adobo flakes of Recipes (Greenbelt 3, Trinoma) and the one of Chocolate Kiss (UP Diliman, Roces Avenue)

For me, these are my benchmarks when it comes to dry adobo.

Yum! This post makes me hungry.:)

[kookay]

Agree. I want adobo now for lunch.

Before, there was a place called Adobo Republic in Katipunan Avenue in QC. It really served all types of adobo with a siding of salted egg, tomatoes and pickled kangkong. I think it was the forerunner of Binalot as it served its take out in banana leaves.

I miss Adobo Republic!

[esembrano]

i like the dry version of adobo. may i have a recipe of the dry adobo?:cool:

[Subsistence]

The dried adobo is what they call, Adobong Matanda. Its dry but the taste of pork and soy sauce is very much intact. You'll ask for a second serving of rice!

[kookay]

i like the dry version of adobo. may i have a recipe of the dry adobo?:cool:

You just let it stay longer than how you would normally cook the adobo until the juices remain concentrated and there is only oil left. Take it out and then fry it in the oil. :)

If you want the flaky version, just flake the cooked adobo and then fry it in a very hot pan.

That's how we do it in our house. :)

[kookay]

I like the salty one.

I agree that adobo is one of the most handy baon of all time.:)

More than handy baon of all time, I think adobo should be voted the most basic Filipino dish one should be able to cook!

In our house, if there was no menu prepared, the default food is adobo. Whether pork, chicken, or kangkong, it has to be adobo because according to our cook, it's the easiest to do and the one she can't go wrong in. :)

Besides, adobos practically last a lifetime and the longer they stay, the better tasting they actually become. And it can be recycled like leftover adobo can be turned into adobo flakes or adobo rice!

I now vote adobo to be the national dish of the Philippines!

Hi Megan, you will surely love this! Hhhhmmm....So Crunchy & yummy!

wow! is this cebu's adobo? It's like lechon kawali... =) it looks so crunchy...

[anj_fire]

My grandmother loves to cook white adobo version. She uses salt instead of soy sauce for this version. I love it dry. To have a dry version of adobo, simply cook it longer than usual until all liquid evaporates. The oil will fry the meat a little. wow! love it.

[ccuevas]

theres even a restaurant name after the dish: republic of adobo a must try!

[dawn of day]

The adobo that I like looks like this:

I also like adobo with sauce because the sauce can be the "ulam" already.

So mouth watering. It made me hungry.

[dawn of day]

Where is the republic of adobo located? I am such an adobo lover.

[hvelayo]

theres even a restaurant name after the dish: republic of adobo a must try!

cool! where is it located? how much is the food per plate?

[blueberry]

Wow that looks delicious! I'm from Manila and the only adobo I know is the one stewed with soy sauce and vinegar. But I would like to try the crispy version:D

[asprv]

that looks like humba. :)

I don't think so... humba has a lot sauce and black beans.

[Naduah]

There is also the ADOBO SA ASIN. Same pork cuts as you see in the pics and it is without soy sauce just salt and pepper. Goes well with fried rice.

[blueberry]

Hmm I'm curious to try that adobo. But without the soy sauce I'm wondering how would that taste??

[exotix]

I initially thought that Adobo was passed on to us by the Spaniards. I would like to try the crispy version. In Manila, Adobo is very famous. In fact, I would say that 4 out of 5 canteens offer this viand. It catches Filipino's taste.

Adobo is one of my favorite foods and I would suggest this to any other person either a Filipino/ foreigner. :)

Yeah!it looks more of a crispy pata:D
What I like best with Adobo here in Manila, is the taste of the mixed oil and soy sauce.Yum! Now that makes me hungry:rolleyes:

[ines]

There is such a food chain called Adobo Republic. I have never tried it myself but I'm quite sure their recipe tastes good. Anyone here who have tried their food?

[ladygee]

I just love the smell of adobo, when it comes to Filipino food adobo rules..be it in pork or chicken adobo love them both..happy eating guys..

[juandlc]

Has anyone tasted adobo sa gata? Great adobo variation. The coconut milk gives it a sweet taste, mixing it up with sour and salty essence. Oh my...I can't resist a second serving!

[aida]

At home, we cook chicken adobo sa gata.

[wowpinay]

At home, we cook chicken adobo sa gata.

I've never tasted Chicken Adobo sa Gata. Can you share the recipe or even just the simple steps in cooking it? Thanks a lot. :D

[zeeroigh]

just the smell of it makes me hungry and satisfied too! just like the saying "amoy pa lang,ulam na".:D

[aida]

It's the same as cooking pork/chicken adobo, except that you don't add soy sauce. Instead, you add coconut milk.

[wowpinay]

Oh, you don't add at all? Okay. I will have to try that kind of Adobo. That's practically healthier right? Instead of putting too much soy sauce, you use coconut milk. Hmm.

[dyna]

Be sure to mix the coconut milk right. There are variations in cooking adobo with coconut milk. Some wanted a more matured coconut and makes the coconut milk become oily. The version that I like best is coconut milk from a not so old coconut and the milky consistency of the coconut extract. Try this and it's very delicious.

[Adamson Beecham]

These are all very sumptuous, sensuous, wonderful, deep-indulgent and mind-captivating chicken delight,which will definitely make differentiate your taste buds from other food stuffs, and once you will have a habit of eating this delightful cuisine you will not enjoy anything else even more than delicious than that indeed.
