Filipino people always make sure that their dish is tasty, with a match of steamed rice, because of a thrifty culture, these people always see to it that they have a dish that’s both affordable and fine. So, for this blog I wanted to share my own recipe of “Adobo”.
Adobo or Adobar is a Spanish term which means “marinated”. It was originated in Portugal; it is also rich in spices, it could be saucy or marinated. Latin America adopted the same dish which named “Braised Pork in Vinegar and Soy Sauce.
Ingredients:
3 pcs Sliced potato
Pork Shoulder 500kg
pepper 1 tsp
3 cloves of garlic
1 piece of onion
Oil 15 grams
water 1 1/2 cup
Soy Sauce 100g
Vinegar 30g
3 leaves of Bay
Sugar 3 tbsp
Procedure:
- In a pre- heated pan, pour oil;
- Sautee’ the garlic and onions;
- Put the potatoes and wait until golden brown.
- Put the pork and sautee’ for 2 minutes and set the heat high;
- Flavor it with salt, pepper and bay leaves
- Pour the cup of water, wait until boiled;
- Pour the soy sauce and vinegar, pour sugar;
- simmer until meat and potatoes are tendered.
(To attain the texture desired, simmer until the sauce turns to half and thickened, best served with steamed rice)
Chef D’s Tip: Adobo’s best taste depends on your taste, it could be “pinatuyo” or dried and/ or “masabaw” or saucy.
