What do you add to your adobo?...

before i put soy sauce i rub the chicken with sugar. then i put the usual soy sauce and garlic and onions. i put the vinegar later on when the chicken is tender already. i also put fried tofu for sometimes i just eat the tofu and not the adobo itself for sometimes i get carried away and eat a lot of rice lol. so thatwhat i put on my adobo. sugar and tofu.

Mmmmm. Food! I would add the black olives for sure! We have adobo a lot. It is one of our favorite comfort foods and as you say never has to be the same.

[i]Hi aseretdd, My Mom is the cook of the family and the ingredients you mentioned are what she is using until this very moment...I have tried to make mine but I don't like the taste maybe because pork or chicken here are not as fresh as what we got. I talked to a new friend and she said, they will add eggs in their adobo....sounds new to me but so far, i didn't try it![/i]

Hi aseretdd! I don't put onion on my adobo. Some times, I put sugar on it to make it a little sweet. my husband and brothers like adobo that way. I also put potato or hard boiled egg. take care

I add a little sugar and fried potatoes. This somehow balances the taste of the vinegar and the soy sauce. Not too sour and not too salty. Fried potatoes, to have veggies on it as others prefferred to eat just a piece of pork or chicken and a piece of the potato.

Hi aseretdd, good day to you. Well adobo was realy one of the best food here in our country. In every party event you will always see that food because it is very delicious to the taste of people. Well, when my father is cooking this kind of food he always told me that the soy sauce was the most important when cooking it and the next is the meet or chicken. My father have a great ability to cook because he was a [b] KAPANGPANGAN [/b. And as we know most of kapangpangan are good in cooking. Well, i guess when cooking adobo it will be great that you will put a mashroom to increase it's good taste than other adobo. Now i really have a great idea because of you said to this discussion. . . Hmp! I really want to taste that kind of adobo which there is a mushroom. As i remember, my mother told me that if i want to increase the amount of ADOBO That i will cook, i add potato,cassava because it is good to increase the amount and last it also give a good taste. . . When i eat in our school canteen, i always order that kind of food, because in our canteen adobo is very affordable and the one who cook that food is great because he is KAPANGPANGAN. . . My classmate also told me that kind of food is one of his favorite and he always as ask to her mother that in his birth day, always cook adobo because he really want it. Well that's all my response to your forum topic discussion entitled "what do you add to your adobo?". Happy posting and happy earning to you. . . Mabuhay! Good luck to our earning career here in mylot. =)

Hi aseretdd, we are from different countries and definitely we have different popular dish in our country respectively. This is the first time I come across the popular dish, adobo in your place. From the ingredients using, like chicken or pork and the other ingredients you mentioned above, the dish seems like yummy enough. I believe the dish tastes rather spicy and sour as well. I love dish with such taste. Hopefully I would have chance to taste such delicious dish in time to come. Happy posting!

I love adobo so much that I want to have it in my meal everyday. I know how to cook chicken and pork adobo. Sometimes I cook pork liver and pork meat adobo and I put some sesame oil so it will smell better. I love it with lots of garlic and some chillies. I have cooked adobe with fried potatoes. What I do is I cut the potatoes in wedge and I fry it until golden brown. I mix it with adobo when the adobo is nearly cooked. Sometimes I also put baguio beans in it when I have no time to cook vegetables. I just put it in adobo and bam! I have my adobo and vegetables. Yum yum...

My eldest son (16 years old), whose in charge of the kitchen, sometimes add sugar to his adobo, especially when he thinks he puts too much vinegar (lol). Adobo is indeed a very versatile dish, as in you can almost add anything to it. My wife used to cook for us an adobo-like dish, although she would add clear soda (sprite or seven-up), and my kids would always love it.

I add rosemary herbs, taragon and pineapple juice to have an excellent taste. I love adobo especially chicken adobo and I always make it a point to have a wonderful adobo recipe every time my friends coming to our house.

before when i used to cook it is just the usual ingredients for an adobo that i put in. however, i do another version. i brown the pork after having it boiled in the adobo concotion for about 30+ minutes. some versions of adobo is straight boiling. i know some put pineapple chunks and even a little pineapple juice in adobo. i've already had a taste of this courtesy of an aunt and it's good. even better than the typical adobo cooked to perfection.

my parent add potato and/or hard boiled eggs when cooking adobo!! we love eating eggs with adobo sauce in it.. and if i dont like to eat rice, i get the potatoes and mash in my bowl and it become my rice.. eating adobo is best when you keep it for few days before eating..

my father used to add pineapple slice in adobo and i loved it.im starving now...

If we're short of money to buy meat products like pork and chicken, we make "adobong sitaw" just for us to eat. :D Its nutritious too although no meats included in the dish.

Well, one time I tried adding chili and barbecue powder to it with a touch of grounded thyme leaves and it was great! My wife loved my variation of adobo and so I wrote the ingredients on a piece of paper. I believe adobo is a very interesting and challenging dish to cook. It depends on the cook's taste buds to be able to produce a great tasting adobo dish.

Definititely picked up some good tips from here, I don't know much about cooking yet so this has really helped me a lot.

We don't experiment on our adobo :) We like it in its original form, no nonsense. But we do put hard boiled eggs with our adobo, but I don't think it's really an additional because I think it's more of a tradition and people who don't put hard boiled eggs aren't really doing it right :P Also, we prefer mixed adobo over chicken adobo or plain pork adobo. Thanks for the response on my discussion!

Whoah... this made me crave for an adobo, I just wish I could be there to taste your adobo... :) I just cook the simplest adobo, but others put pineapple in it, and maybe when I will cook adobo I will try to put some pineapple coz I love pineapples.

hi! i love eating adobo! we usually mix chicken and pork and a week is not complete without having adobo! its the family's favorite, i should say. we usually add eggs on our adobos. and potatoes also but mostly its the eggs as an additives. happy mylotting aseretdd!

Timely question because my lunch was adobo. My adobo is pork meat and pork liver. I love liver so much. If my mom cooks chicken adobo, we also put hard boiled egg. And I love eating my adobo with papaya achara.
