Baked Chicken Adobo




Here is a new twist on an old Filipino favorite, adobo! Instead of cooking in a frying pan, we’ll be baking our adobo for a semi-crispy taste. The ingredients we need are listed below:

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 kg / 1.1 lbs chicken
  • 1 onion
  • 6 cloves garlic
  • 2 tsp brown sugar
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1/4 cup of soy sauce
  • 3 tsp vinegar
  • 1 sachet of seasoning
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper




First, before preparing the vegetables and the chicken, preheat oven to 450F / 232C so that it will be ready. The two vegetables we’ll be preparing are an onion and a six cloves of garlic. Chop both vegetables into tiny pieces. In a large mixing bowl pour in two tablespoons of brown sugar, one quarter cup of soy sauce, three teaspoons of vinegar, one sachet of seasoning, one quarter teaspoon of onion powder, one quarter teaspoon of garlic powder and one quarter teaspoon of black pepper. Add the onion and garlic pieces to the mix. Stir everything together thoroughly until the powders are mixed into the vinegar and soy sauce.




Now it’s time to prepare the chicken pieces. Wash the chicken thoroughly under hot water. Place each chicken piece into the mix in the bowl. Thoroughly coat each piece chicken with the adobo mix. After you have coated all of the chicken with adobo mix, place the pieces on a baking pan covered in a tinfoil sheet. If the oven temperature has reached 450 F / 232 C, you can put the baking pan with the chicken pieces in the oven.

Bake for 40 minutes or when the internal temperature of the chicken pieces has reached 165˚F (74˚C). Let the chicken cool for several minutes, then serve and enjoy!

How to Cook Chicken Adobo Sa GATA




Chicken Adobo sa Gata is a family favorite chicken adobo version next to the classic adobong manok. We like it because it is rich and yummy — very delicious!

Have you tried preparing this dish? If you haven’t, this recipe along with the cooking video below, will guide you from start to finish. If you are a beginner or an intermediate cook, this recipe is a good learning experience.




The first thing we will do is marinate the chicken in soy sauce, garlic, and crushed peppercorn. The minimum time to marinate is 20 minutes, but we recommend that you marinate the chicken for 1 hour if you have the time. This will let the chicken soak up the flavor thoroughly.

After marinating, we can begin cooking the remaining garlic. Add the marinated chicken then the dried bay leaves. Vinegar is next. At this point, we already have chicken adobo! Take it to the next level of flavor by pouring the coconut milk into the pot with the rest of the ingredients.  This makes ordinary chicken adobo taste so much better!




This adobo recipe is easy and straightforward. If you have any questions, suggestions, or a reaction, please add your comment below.

Easy Pork Hamonado




Easy Pork Hamonado is a dish made of pork, pineapple juice, and sugar. Looking at is main ingredients, you will know right away that this dish is has a sweet and sour flavor to it. Warm white rice is the best thing to eat this with.

I made this dish using fresh pineapple juice. I got a nice, sweet pineapple juice from the grocery and this dish was one of the ideas that popped into my head.

Canned pineapple juice is a good alternative ingredient for the fresh pineapple juice.




You can also use a cup of water and add  half a beef cube as a substitute for beef broth. You may use white sugar or brown sugar for this recipe – whatever you prefer.

The final few steps are the easiest. Simply add sugar, salt, and pepper and then let them all cook for a few more minutes. Vary the amount of the salt and pepper according to your taste.

Pork shoulders are the best part to use for this dish since it contains fat which keeps the meat moist. Use lean pork cuts if less fat is preferred. Pork chops can be used too.




Ingredients:

  • 1 kg pork
  • 1 red onion
  • 6 cloves garlic
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup pineapple juice
  • 1 tbsp vinegar
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1/2 cup water




Directions:

  1. Heat the cooking oil in a pan.
  2. Once the oil gets hot, add the pork and cook until the color turns light to medium brown then remove after in the pot and set aside
  3. In a pan, add the garlic and onion.
  4. Put it back the pork in the pot
  5. Add the pineapple juice and vinegar. Stir and cook for 3 minutes.
  6. Pour-in the soy sauce, black pepper and bay leaves . Stir. Add the water. Let boil. Simmer for 45 to 50 minutes. Add water if needed.
  7. Stir-in the sugar and salt . Cook for 3 to 5 minutes more.

Best String Beans Stir-Fry




Ingredients:

  • 2 tbsp. cooking oil
  • 1 tbsp. vinegar
  • 1 tbsp. soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp. oyster sauce
  • 2 cups string beans
  • 1 1/2 cups ground pork
  • 1 medium red onion, finely cut
  • 1 tbsp. garlic, finely cut
  • 1 small packet of seasoning

How do you know your green beans are fresh? Break one in half. It should “snap”. If it bends limply like a rubber band, it’s not fresh. Only buy fresh. This stir fry cooks up quickly, with ground pork, onions, and garlic, and a sauce of sweetened soy sauce with vegetable oil. It couldn’t be easier! Just make sure you are using fresh and tender beans. (Older tougher beans won’t be cooked enough in the time it takes to make this stir fry.)
