Every Filipino has an opinion about adobo. Including their grandma. Adobo is the unofficial national dish of the Philippines β chicken or pork slow-braised in soy, vinegar, garlic, peppercorns, and bay leaves. Sounds simple, but every family makes it differently. Some go heavier on vinegar. Some add coconut milk. Some swear by fish sauce. Some cook it dry, some leave it saucy. Ask 10 Filipinos how to make adobo and you'll get 11 opinions.
Ours has been refined over years β bone-in chicken, balanced soy and vinegar, deep garlic, served over rice with veggie pancit and a lumpia on the side. It's the bowl that tastes like home, even if you've never been there.
