Pork Adobo is pork cooked in soy sauce, vinegar, and garlic. This is considered by many as the Philippine’s national dish because of its popularity, ease in preparation, and long storage life. Adobo is not only limited to pork and chicken, other meats, seafoods, and vegetables (such as squid (pusit), goat meat, veal, beef, shrimp (hipon), river spinach(kang-kong)) can also be cooked this way.
There are different variations in cooking this dish (sometimes called regional versions). This recipe is the most common and simplest of them all. I’ll try to feature other Adobo variations such as the Batangas Adobo and the Ginataang Adobo in our future posts.
Try this simple yet satisfying Filipino Food.

Please, please try adobo on coconut milk. I’d love to see how it turns out. My bro was just teasing me awhile ago how her girlfriend cooked for him Bobby Chin’s adobo on patis recipe. He loved it more than the usual adobo marinated in soy sauce.

HI,
I wonder if you have the recipe for HUMBA – a popular visayan version of adobo. If you have I would appreciate your including this in your line-up
I had been glued in your site for 3 hours now. Very interesting. My kasambahay watched the videos and we have lined up the ones we will try as soon as we’ll have the ingredients ready.
thanks a lot

I dont have bay leaf for pork adobo would it still be the same?
Well I don’t like bay leaves, my filipino wife would leave out the bay leaf. And instead add a medium size, onion halved and sliced thin which for me turn out to be very good. I in turn went a little crazy when I cooked it and added the sliced onion and all the other items other than bay. But being crazy I added medium sliced bell pepper one and a half bell each being a different color. LOL it turn out to be great but not standard odobo.
Hi
I like the way you prepare your menu coz its very simple and you translate it in tagalog which serves best for those who are not so familiar with that specific ingredient. Keep it up and hope to know more from you. God bless!
Btw hope you can come up with an iphone application so it would be more convenient.. And as to showcase also our line of filipino dishes and how we do it the filipino style with other int’l dishes as well.

It’s nice to hear from you again Joseph. Kamusta ka na? Pansin ko naman na magaling ka rin magluto kasi madami kang nalalaman…i’m sure ok na ok rin ang version mo ng Pork Adobo. Thanks nga pala sa info pero don’t worry dahil di naman ako nakikipag compete sa iba. Ang sa akin lang, masaya na ako na may mga taong natutulungan itong ating munting gawain. Ingat lagi bro and god bless.
