    Hi, There's another version of white adobo. Instead of soy sauce substitute it with fish sauce and omit the sugar and coconut milk you don't even have to brown the meat. Oh and try adding pork bouillon or chicken bouillon.

    This is really called in the vernacular as Adobo sa Gata or literally Adobo in coconut milk. Its a variation from the coconut region of Bicol in the Phils.

    The real white adobo is really the traditional adobo without soy sauce, the adobo that the Spaniards already found endemic to the Phils when they arrived in the 1500s. It is also dry, just the oil expressed by the pork. Soy sauce was a later addition when it was introduced by China with the advent of the Chinese migration. Sugar is also not a part of the traditional adobo. Up in the Northern provinces and many on the Visayas regions still prefer to cook dry white adobo. There are other version of adobo like Adobo sa Dilaw (adobo in yellow sauce) that makes use of turmeric, there's a variety of vegetable adobo, squid adobo, beef adobo – almost anything can be made into adobo, a term coined by the Spanish colonizers from the word adobar, meaning to cook in vinegar.

    Hi Flo! That’s how I make my regular adobo sans the coconut milk. Adobong puti or white adobo skips the soy sauce and uses salt or fish sauce instead. We put boiled eggs too on our saucy adobo. Great recipe!

    The real white adobo is made of vinegar salt garlic little sugar and pork belly. Boil the pork and reduce the water until the fat comes out and let it fry the pork to its fat.

    try it with turmeric or what we pinoys call adobong dilaw (yellow adobo). but my favorite is the one i always cook. its called adobong tagalog or in my words "adobo frito" which is adobo that is fried by simmering until tender then by removing the liquid/sauce and fry in oil the pork or chicken until caramelized and toasted and splashing the sauce back again to the fried adobo and serve. this is the way i cook my adobo for the past 20 years now.

    One version for white adobo is to use vinegar and skip the soy sauce. Sugar, of course, is essential to neutralize the taste. Adobo in the Philippines has many versions depending on the province or city where it is prepared. The one with coconut milk or creme is usually popular in the Bicol region. Thanks for sharing your recipe. ❤😊

    Flo sorry to say I can’t see this as a white adobo as color does not the same as white. I can say that this is soy adobo with coconut milk. White adobo is the original adobo , using vinegar , salt, black pepper only (no soy sauce) meat was cooked this as way of extending the shelf live. Soy sauce was introduced by Chinese and that’s when they started adding it to the white adobo and made its new version. Don’t get me wrong this version of your adobo with coco is good as well as I have made this my self. You can also make a orange adobo by adding annato powder to the non soy sauce ado. Also a yellow adobo by adding turmeric. And with coconut milk it for sure a level up.
