Diana Chan's Filipino Pork & Chicken Adobo
A quintessential Filipino dish, Adobo can be found in many variations across the Philippines. Traditionally, meat is marinated and cooked with vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, bay leaves and black peppercorns to get that signature adobo flavor that everyone knows and loves. While chicken and pork belly are the more commonly used proteins for this dish, other meats and seafood pair perfectly with the sauce as well. Enjoy it with a bowl of garlic fried rice and fried egg for a classic Filipino meal.
