So, while I didn't have my computer, I had a chance to make Adobo - the popular Filipino dish which is a stew of marinated meat in a sauce of garlic and vinegar. The Filipino leader made it during the Philippines' national night at the camp. She used the instant seasoning mix and shared one sachet to me.
Adobo
I think I should make it a bit more dry but I really like to eat the Adobo sauce with rice. It's savory and also fresh from the sour taste of the vinegar.

Adobo recipe
In a pot, saute 1 kilo of chicken or pork with 2 tbsp of garlic, 1/2 cup vinegar, 3 bay leaves and 1 tbsp of black peppercorns.
Add 2 cups of water.
Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer.
Serve with rice and enjoy!
Hmm..Was just about to say, Adobo should by slightly thicker :) I'm no expert, but my Filipino colleagues used to reduce the sauce till it becomes a thick dark brown liquid that goes very well with rice!
ReplyDeleteunkaleong: True.. true, it should be thicker of drier, but I had "too much water" and found out the "sauce" tasted good :D
ReplyDeleteI love adobo with less soup but yours look delish!

ReplyDeleteFinally you're online again:). I thought you got blogging burn-out like me some time ago, hehehe;). It's time for you to do another coverage for Indonesian street food and make me drool again...;).
ReplyDeleteI think I may have just tried Adobo only once or twice but I do enjoy the savory and sour taste. More rice,please :)
ReplyDeleteI love sour, vinegary things! This sounds great! I always thought adobo was Mexican, whoops.
ReplyDeleteOh, I can't imagine to live without computer for 2 weeks. Adobo? Just my first time heard about it, haha...
ReplyDeletecooking gallery: I haven't gotten any chance to eat on the street again, hopefully soon ;)
ReplyDeletetigerfish: Can't stop adding the rice! hehehe...
mica: Oh, actually in Spanish, Adobo means marinate or seasoning but then in Philippines, Adobo is an authentic Filipino cuisine.
