  1. So many ways to make adobo. Might have to try this version. In our family we don’t use any sugar at all. Simple ingredients. Vinegar, some salt. Boil it with bay leaves, whole peppercorn, some garlic cloves. When all the water evaporates the grease from the fat will help sear it at the end. That’s it, so delicious.

  2. The audio quality on this video is very good. Do you capture your audio through a small mic hidden somewhere on your, or overdub your voice after the fact and carefully line up the visuals to the audio?

  3. God, another sear and deglazed by onion adobo. adobo with onions = filipino pork steak. Just fry the pork in the rendered fat after boiling. Make sure you only add enough water to submerge the meat, this will let you easily separate the sauce and the rendered fat ( you can even make it crispy ) this way you dont need the onions!

  4. You really can't use pork loin and belly needs to have skin on. Chicken can be used, as can other key ingredients because adobo is just a broad flavour base. This whole maillard and caramelisation is just pure bullshit and if you want to use a reference, just fly to the Philippines.

    Adobo can be dry or wet like a soup and nothing is right or wrong, even when some western wanker thinks he can do better.

  5. I made this the other night and I must have done something wrong. The only thing I can taste is salt and I used low sodium soy sauce. I'll give it one more try without marinating it first, I'll let you know how it turns out.

  6. Drop the f…ing MSG – it's disrespectfully admitting, that the cooking of the old folks was not good enough, and that you need an industrial chemical to make great taste.
    We need and anti-MSG trend.

  7. Some Filipinos add boiled eggs to their adobo. So I think a nice boiled egg salad would be a great side dish. If you don't want rice, naan bread is a great carb to go with adobo.

  8. Ohh and replacing rice with potatoes is the best you can do, because rice doesn't have absolutely anything of nutrients , it's totally same as noodles = nothing, yes I admit that pasta is almost nothing at all also, but potatoes have vitamins and nutrients.

  9. Sorry I don't understand.

    Thought you said to marinate the pork for 4 – 24 hours, yet when the time came to sear the pork, the meat was plain, non-marinated pork that you put in the pan.

  10. ,first thing came to my mind was "pork belly burn ends". So freaking good but extremely sweet.. they melt in your mouth. Will have to try this when pork belly comes down from 100.00 a side to something like 15-20. 😅

  11. So you marinated the pork and then proceeded to sear non marinated pork? Why? I find this misleading. We all know that if you seared the marinated pork it either would have stewed or blackened too fast. That’s why you used non marinated pork isn’t it?

  12. Adobo is an original Filipino dish used commonly before refrigerators were invented. We eat it as is, or take a few, shred then stir fried with whatever vegetables are picked from our backyards

  13. We prefer chicken, sitaw or string beans, kangkong or swamp cabbage, even mussels for adobo. Pork is best for lechon kawaii and crispy PATA or knuckles. The best vinegar is sukang Sasa or sukang 0aombong or nipa palm vinegar. No chemicals, 100% organic
