Very simple and easy right? You can always improvise your adobo. Some put oyster sauce. In Pampanga they call it adobong puti because they use salt instead of soy sauce. In some places like in the Visayas, they put coconut milk. In Cavite they have the very yummy Adobong Salinas.Cavitenos with onions and tomatoes aside from garlic.
Adobo is indeed our unofficial National Dish. It roots from the Spanish word “adobar” which means marinade. When the Spaniards conquered the Philippines centuries ago, they discovered a cooking process, which was stewing with vinegar and they called it adobo. Chinese traders were the ones who introduced soy sauce though. But some Filipinos still use salt for their adobo.
