Hi Susan,
This is so interesting. I’ve heard of adobo of course, but have never tried to
make it before now. Would your helper be willing to share her favourite
(chicken) version? I don’t care where it’s from as long as it’s tasty. 🙂
What sides (besides rice 🙂) and/or veg dishes do you typically have with adobo?
Vicki. :-)

Hi Vicki,
This is our family's favourite as our helper cooks marvellous adobo dishes
for us.
I am told there are many variations of the adobo - regional differences
abound
(the Manila version is different from those in outlying provinces, etc), and
some recipes include pork, chicken liver and gizzards (our faves).
She also cooks sotong (squid) adobo with squid ink which is soooo good.
And having lived in Singapore for so long, she sometimes adds oyster sauce
for a 'Chinese version,' She has also tried different Chinese vinegars in
place
of the straightforward white vinegar usually called for in recipes.
Apparently, she tells me that the traditional vinegar used in adobo is
coconut
vinegar but that is a bit harder to find.
RICE is a MUST. We always overeat when adobo is on the table!
