Adobong Manok sa Gata Pinoy Recipe

Adobong Manok sa Gata

Philippine Adobo (from Spanish adobar: "marinade," "sauce" or "seasoning") is a popular dish and cooking process in Philippine cuisine that involves meat, seafood, or vegetables marinated in vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, and black peppercorns, which is browned in oil, and simmered in the marinade. It has sometimes been considered as the unofficial national dish in the Philippines.

Adobong Manok sa Gata is my next favorite chicken adobo version next to classic adobong manok. I like it because it is rich and tasty — simply delicious!

Have you tried cooking this dish yet? If not, this recipe along with the cooking video below should be able to guide you from start to finish. If you are a beginner or an intermediate cook, this recipe is a good resource.

The first thing that I did was to marinate the chicken is soy sauce, garlic, and crushed peppercorn. The minimum time to marinate is 20 minutes, but I suggest that you do it for 1 hour if you have extra time. This will let the chicken absorb the flavor better.

After marinating, you can start cooking the remaining garlic. Add the marinated chicken followed by the dried bay leaves. The vinegar will be next. At this point, you already have chicken adobo. Enhance it further by pouring the coconut milk into the pot where all the ingredients are. This makes regular chicken adobo taste better.

The recipe is simple and straightforward. If you have questions, suggestions, or reactions, please add your comment below.
