My adobo recipe is I use chicken breast or lean pork (ayaw ni mister ng taba) marinate muna with soy sauce, garlic, peppercorn. Then, I fry the meat first, saving the marinade for later. I will then sauté onion, garlic, ginger, and then add the fried meat. After that add vinegar and then add the rest of the marinade. I add bay leaves later. I let the meat cook longer and on lower heat. We like them with a bit of sauce.
Sometimes, I add potatoes kasi trip ng boys ko. Sometimes din, I add sprite in the marinade.
