Easy Filipino Pork or Chicken Adobo image

One of the most popular dishes of the Philippines!!! I'm half Filipino...this is the method both my parents used to cook this yummy meal. I like to add potatoes to the Pork style only. Also note: This is as close to the measurements that I could guesstimate. When I was taught to cook this dish, my parents would just dump in the ingredients. I've done the same since and learned to perfect it on my own. I chose to use some of the ingredients I listed because my belief in traditional diets. Lard, coconut oil and bones (for marrow) give the dish the most authentic flavor you can find. When my grandmother would cook with bones, she'd break them to release as much marrow as possible. I hope you're willing to try it and enjoy it! My family and In-laws can't get enough of it!!!

Categories     Pork

Time 55m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 -3 lbs pork (cubed, save bones) or 6 -8 chicken drumsticks
water (enough to submerge all meat)
4 garlic cloves (mashed)
1/2 cup soy sauce (estimated)
1/2 cup white vinegar (estimated)
salt & pepper (to taste)
1 bay leaf
1 -2 tablespoon lard (if sauteing) or 1 -2 tablespoon coconut oil (if sauteing)
3 medium red potatoes (optional) or 3 medium yukon gold potatoes, cubed (optional)

Steps:

  • You may sauté meat prior to making this dish but in this version it is not necessary. If sautéing, heat lard/oil in large frying pan. Add meat. Fry on medium to med/high heat until golden brown. Then follow instructions below --
  • Place meat (and bones) in large sauce pan.
  • Add just enough water to submerge all of meat & bones.
  • Bring to boil. As pan warms up, add vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, bay leaf and desired amount of salt and pepper. (Remember soy sauce is already pretty salty.).
  • Simmer and cover for about 40 minutes. (or until chicken looks like it's starting to fall off the bone)Stir periodically.
  • IF ADDING POTATOES -- simmer for about 20 minutes add cubed potatoes, bring back to boil -- simmer for about 20 more minutes.
  • Remove bones prior to serving.
  • If sauce is not slightly thickened after 40 minutes, you may use corn starch to do the trick -- however it will lighten up the color of the sauce.
  • Serve over steamed Jasmine or Calrose rice (Jasmine is available in a brown rice).

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my adobo turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked it.

This recipe is a bit bland for my taste. I'll add some more spices next time.

I'm not a big fan of adobo, but this recipe was surprisingly good. The pork was tender and flavorful, and the sauce was rich and tangy.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my adobo turned out too salty. I think I'll use less soy sauce next time.
