#FoodFriday
I already cooked adobo last week. I used Mama Sita's adobo mix. It was good, but I think I was not able to follow the exact ratio of the kilos of meat and the mixture, so it came out on the salty side.
This time, I attempted to do it from scratch, meaning not using those ready-made mixes. I Googled some recipes and came up with this one improvisation, if you can call it that. Ha ha!
Ingredients
1tbsp cooking oil
1 onion, peeled and sliced thinly
1 head garlic, peeled and minced
4 slices of adobo-cut pork meat
6 slices of Chicken wings
1/2 cup vinegar
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 tbsp Mama Sita's oyster sauce
1 tsp brown sugar
1/2 tsp salt
Pepper to taste
Procedure
1. In a pan, heat oil in medium heat.
2. Add onions and garlic. Saute until limp.
3. Add pork and cook, until lightly brown. Stir occasionally.
4. Add chicken and cook until lightly brown and juices run clear. Stir lightly and occasionally.
5. Add vinegar and bring to a boil, uncovered without stirring, for about 3-5 minutes.
6. Add soy sauce, water, oyster sauce. Continue to boil for about 2-3 minutes.
7. Lower heat, cover and continue to cook until meat is tender and sauce is reduced.
8. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
9. Add boiled eggs (your preference).
10. Serve hot.
The gremlins like it! Success! XD

That looks yummy! I also like my adobo with egg and a bit sweet.
ReplyDeleteGot lucky and it was good! haha!
DeleteI also cook my adobo this way. I mix chicken and pork since my dad is allergic to chicken. I also put hard boiled eggs as my kids like them.
ReplyDeleteYes, it's a nice variation actually to have boiled eggs in there. XD
DeleteI like adobo a little sweet. So, I usually add pineapple when cooking this dish. My kids loves the sauce, so I make sure that there is more sauce for them. 😊
ReplyDeleteAh yeah, pineapple would be good, too! Will try it next!
DeleteCongratulations, sis, you did it! It took me long to perfect my adobo. I cooked it from scratch with additions and subtrations in the past, but has now somewhat mastered the correct soy sauce/vinegar/water portions needed in the mix.
ReplyDeleteHaha, thanks sis! Grabee! It was a major production but am sure in time I can do it pikitmata na!
DeleteAnd it looks like a success indeed! I'm totally salivating!
ReplyDeleteHa ha! Thanks, Maan! :)
DeleteChicken and pork adobo is my quick solution to no ulam day. If i am in a hurry and need to leave the boys for an erranc, i will just prepare adobo. Learned my adobo recipe from my Inay, my grandmother. I will just put in one casserole all the ingredients and let them stay for an hour. Overnight is preferred. Then i will cook it in low fire. Yup, i also put eggs or sometimes quail egss. Sometimes, potatoes too.
ReplyDeleteYeah, didn't know it's so easy to prepare it. The first time just sounds intimidating. Ha ha!
DeleteYour Chicken Adobo looks really good!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Peach! :)
Deleteadobo is also my go-to ulam if i don't feel like cooking for my kids =D it's very easy and doesn't require much preparation ^_^
ReplyDeleteYeah, didn't realize it's that easy pala. Ha ha!
DeleteI wish I can cook adobo without using the ready mix sauce. Hindi ako magaling magluto huhu
ReplyDeleteYou can, Levy. Major production nga lang. He he.. am just starting to learn myself. ;)
DeleteOoh, we love putting eggs in our adobo too. I don't like it mixed woth pork though as I'm not much of a fan of it.
ReplyDeleteYeah, mixing chicken and pork in one adobo is I think invented to make life easier. At least you have 2 choices na agad. Ha ha!
DeleteThat looks really good!
ReplyDeleteWith vinegar talaga hindi pwede haluin kung hindi mahihilaw ang suka :)
Yep! Ha ha Thanks!
DeleteI basically use the same recipe although I usually make our adobo with more sauce because hubby and kids prefer it like that. :)
ReplyDeleteYep, next time, I'll put a little more sauce. :D
DeleteNakakatakam! Lalo na yung nilagang itlog! Yumyum!
ReplyDeleteMhaan <3 | Mommy Rockin' In Style Blog
Yum talaga, Mhaan! :) Thanks!
DeleteMy husband makes a mean adobo and no mixes either! I am intimidated and don't even bother trying to cook it so I try pasta dishes and the like. Congrats on the successful adobo dish!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, lucky you Louisa! Thanks, too... I have yet to make a pasta dish. :D
