    To cut back on the salt but not flavor, I would substitute 1/4 cup soy with a 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce. You don’t even notice the difference! Thank you for the recipe!

    Gimme some of that…lol. good techniques btw. The soy/vinegar ratio is spot on. With chicken I also use onions. With pork, more garlic and a little crushed ginger.

    Most Filipino soy sauces (toyo) have caramel coloring added to them. If you use Thai or naturally brewed soy sauce then just add a teaspoon or two of dark soy sauce to it. Great job on the adobo, I have always put onions in mine too whether I make pork or chicken. I bet the cilantro goes very well with it too.

    I put a bay leaf in adobo baboy (pork), but for adobo manuk (chicken), I always use a couple slices of ginger instead. Thumbs up on the Silver Swan soy sauce, and the Datu Puti vinegar. Another add (from the Ancheta kitchen) about a tablespoon of pickling spice into the marinade/braising sauce. It adds a dimension the family really enjoys.

    I did this last night and it was good. Before it was completely done I tried some sauce over some rice with some mixed vegetables I prepared. I had two bowls before I even tried the chicken and another bowl about an hour after I had cleaned up the kitchen. It even tasted better today after sitting the frig all night. I can't wait to try it with pasta or potatoes. Two thumbs up….

    Silver Swan and Datu Puti are the best brand. You may put garlic on the marinate. All adobo has onions on it, but we use the red one. You start with the garlic then onion, then put in the marinates chicken. Once it's brown then put and marinate and some water. Let it boil and wait till it the water gone down and turned into sauce and voila you'll have the best adobo. You may put sugar as well to balance the taste.

    I'm American in the Philippines. I cook Adobo but add black peppercorns and a little brown sugar.
    I also like it with hard boiled eggs. I will try yours because it looks good with cilantro.
    You maybe have done a video for Bicol Express but if you haven't you should. I make it all the time.
    BTW you are beautiful! suay mak mak!
