Notes

Notes:
  1. The squid should be cleaned properly before cooking. Make sure to remove the innards and beak along with the film on its back.
  2. Use large yellow onion. Diced onion is ok, but minced is best in my opinion.
  3. Tomatoes are optional ingredient for this recipe. It makes this version of adobong pusit quite different. I have been using this ingredient as long as I can remember. You see, this is a heirloom recipe and our family has been doing it this way for generations.
