Hi everyone.. We (Filipino peoples) all know how easy to cook the ultimate recipe of Adobo. There are many ways of how to prepare this food. Here in this section, I will give you the secret recipe (ingredients) of Adobo and teach you on how to cook this fabulous food in just a minute as well. But before we proceed to the main event, I would like to introduced to you that this strategy of cooking is very easy and even a 6th grader child can follow the steps that I will provide here in my post. By the way, I just learned here in Doha, Qatar on how to cook this one of a kind and most spectacular food that no one can forget the taste of our country's number 1 cuisine.

Alright I know your excited to know our secret and tasty killer ingredients of Adobo. (Oooppss, It doesn't mean that if you taste it, you will die afterwards.. lolz!).

The Paradise Philippines' ultimate Adobo recipe:

• 1 kilo of chiken (cut into pieces)
• 1 head garlic, minced
• 1/2 onion, minced or diced (it's up to you)
• 1/2 cup of soy sauce
• 1 cup of vinegar - this is the crucial main ingredient hehehe!
• 2 cups of water
• 1 teaspoon paprika (its optional, if you want you may use pepper)
• 5 laurel leaves (bay leaves)
• 4 tablespoons of cooking oil or olive oil
• 2 tablespoons of cornstarch

Here's the instructions on how to cook:

In a big sauce pan or wok, deep fry the garlics and onions on cooking with hot 2 tablespoons of oil. Add the chicken to the pan. Add 2 cups of water, 1/4 cup of soy sauce, vinegar, paprika and the bay leaves. Bring to a boil. Cover and boil it for 30 minutes or when meat is tender. Remove the chicken from the sauce pan and on another pan, heat the cooking oil and wait until it browns the chicken for a few minutes. Mix the browned chicken back to the sauce and add cornstarch dissolved in water to thicken. Bring to a boil then simmer for an additional 5 minutes.

Tips:

• You have the option to add crushed ginger to the onions and garlic when sautéing. Ginger adds a unique flavor to your chicken Adobo.
• You may also substitute a Pork meat instead of chicken. Since pork meat is not allowed here in Doha we use to cooked the chicken meat.
  

I hope it helps you to enhance your cooking strategy. Mabuhay po kayo!
