Adobong Pusit sa Gata

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This adobong pusit sa gata was the result of over a week of craving for adobong pusit. I went to the Filipino supermarket the other day to get the ingredients. I noticed that the coconut milk (in can) was on sale, so I grabbed more that I needed for the week. The dish that I was yearning for was enhanced a bit with coconut milk. It worked well and we all enjoyed it.

Adobong Pusit Sa Gata

I liked how creamy and tasty this dish was. The squid is flavorful enough to make the dish tasty, but the garlic, soy sauce, and vinegar helped to make it taste better. The coconut milk was responsible for its creaminess.

Squid is one of the ingredients that should not be overcooked. This was the reason why I removed the squid after partially sautéing it in garlic. The flavor of the squid remained in the pot and it was blending with the coconut milk and other seasonings as I reduced the sauce. If you will jump into the recipe below, you’ll see that the squid was added back towards the end of the cooking process. At this point, the sauce was already thick and creamy. It needed a little bit of flavor though and the few minutes of cooking the squid in it was able to compensate for the need.

I am excited to hear how you cook your adobong pusit sa gata. I understand that we all have different ways in cooking this dish. Let me know how you do it by commenting below. Talk to you soon.

      Les, fresh squid is best. However, it is all up to your preference or the availability of the ingredient.

    I tried this but I lacked 2 ingredients, the fish sauce and bay leaf. But it still turned out well. This is a nice recipe.
