After I ate mom’s homemade chicken adobo, I thought at that moment to make it as the first one on my list of food blog for this was the word or the food which Filipinos usually being identified.
Adobo means “marinade” or “seasoning” which involves meat, seafood, and vegetables mixed with soy sauce, vinegar, cooking oil, garlic, black peppercorn, and bay leaf. It has sometimes been considered as the unofficial national dish in our homeland.
In our way, adobo is being mixed with numerous options such that it is wrong to call it as a singular dish for it is just a cooking method of browning any particular meat (chicken, pork, and beef) in oil with the abovementioned ingredients.
Although its name was taken from Spain after they dominated here in the Philippines, the cooking methods are native to us. From what I’ve observed, dishes prepared in this manner eventually came to be known by its name, with the original name for the dish now lost to history.
