Here's one of my favorite dish. You can do this in chicken and Pork or you can actually combine the two.
Chicken adobo is a tasty dish from the Philippines, and is one of my personal favorites. It is a staple you will find in nearly any Filipino household. I'll walk you through how to make this super easy dish.
So how much of everything do I use? This is the beauty of adobo. Adjust everything to your taste. You can't really go wrong. Some people don't like too much vinegar, so they prefer a 1:1 ratio of vinegar and soy sauce. Other people like the vinegar but prefer to use a milder rice vinegar over standard white. Do whatever you want! (Don't like chicken? Pork adobo is great too!)
Here's what I like to use:
3lbs chicken thigh
3/4c white vinegar
1/4c soy sauce
1/4ts peppercorns (crushed)
1/4ts salt
3 garlic cloves (chopped or crushed)
2 bay leaves
1/4 of a medium onion (chopped)
Step 1:
Chop the onion and garlic.
Step 2:
Fully chopped:
Step 3:
Get out your soy sauce and vinegar.
Step 4:
Add the soy sauce and vinegar to our chicken. Go ahead and toss in those onions and garlic, too.
Step 5:
Next step is to take your salt, ground peppercorns, and bay leaves.
Step 6:
Add 1/4ts peppercorns (crushed), 1/4ts salt and 2 bay leaves to the pot.
Step 7:
Mix it all up very well.
Step 8:
And then cover it. We need to let this marinate for 1-3 hours.
Step 9:
Two and a half hours seems fine to me. Let's get this baby cooking. Bring 'er up to a boil, and then let it all simmer for about 40 minutes (or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked.)
Step 10:
Almost done:
Step 11:
Serve in a bowl with some of the sauce. Ideal sidedishes are steamed rice, and veggies (not pictured.)
That's all there is to making chicken adobo. I hope you all enjoy this simple (but excellent!) Filipino dish.
