Adobong Dilaw is a pork adobo version that does not use soy sauce. Instead, it uses turmeric which is a type of rhizome that belongs to the ginger family. It is known as “luyang dilaw” in Filipino.
The procedure in preparing Adobong dilaw is almost the same as making our favorite pork adobo. However, I tried to add something to enhance the flavor due to the absence of soy sauce. In this case, I added pork cubes. This ingredient compensates to the absence of soy sauce by adding more flavor to the dish.
It is important that your Adobong Dilaw is as tender as it can be. I see to it that enough time is allotted to simmer the meat to make it tender. Also, avoid too much stirring as it can spill the sauce. The yellowish sauce might taste good, but its stain can be a tough one to deal with.

You can also use turmeric powder if you do not have fresh ones. Still turns out delicious.
