American Fam Tries To Cook Filipino Food

We're spending a few weeks in our Denver home and missing our Metro Manila home, so we decided to try to cook up some iconic filipino dishes ourselves. After our meal at Manila Bay Restaurant in Aurora, Colorado, we know that there's great pinoy food outside of the Philippines, but can we pull it together on our own? Let's find out.

ABOUT US
We’re the Lockwoods. And we’re traveling the world to experience-up close and in person-all the natural wonders and distinct cultures that our kids would otherwise be consuming only through textbooks and TV. We think it’s a better way to learn and we’re working hard to fund this little experiment in the hope that our kids will grow up wiser, kinder, and more grateful for the beauty of our diverse planet and its people.

[@30AndAWakeUp]

I was in the US Navy for 20 years and a lot of people probably don’t realize that like 10% of the US Navy is made up of Filipinos. I grew up in the midwest and the Navy was my first exposure to filipino food & culture. I love it! Thanks for sharing your adventure trying to make it. You’re motivating me to try!

[@livethephilippines]

We didn’t know that rather. Thanks for the facts. 👍🏻 and thank you for your service 🙏

Super proud of you Erin! Adobo is not all the same each family has its own way to cook it. So this is the lockwood adobo.

I am so happy to have found both of your 2 youtube channels. I immigrated from the Philippines almost 34 yrs ago, and now live in Texas. Seeing all your youtube videos from the Philippines makes me so happy & have been bringing back all the memories from the Philippines. It really is nice that your kids have adapted so well and they are open to trying new dishes and experience a different culture! Excited to follow all your videos❤

Came across with ur channel, and as a Filipino Im so amazed with the efforts and extra mile you've shown to really diversed with the culture one day at a time. ❤❤❤

[@adllau9695]

Try the easy Tinola Manok, sauté onions, ginger, and garlic for about 2-3 minutes, followed by the chicken cuts, sauté for about 5 minutes. Then pour in chicken stock or water salt and pepper to taste, boil for about 5 minutes until chicken is cooked. Add in basil leaves or moringa leaves (malunggay leaves). happy eating. dipping sauce to partner with the chicken tinola, patis, and calamansi. yummy. Don't forget the rice. Pour some oil to thicken your adobo sauce. soursop is Guyabano fruit

[@livethephilippines]

Ohh onions would have been so good with it 👍🏻

[@gerriedelira1811]

Im still trying to replicate my grandmothers adobo recipe she made a really good version hoping when I go back to my province in Leyte I’ll watch my aunt make adobo so I can learn

[@apol_16]

Hooray 🎉! The family that cooks and eats together, stays together! Reagan’s first appearance in LTP channel is it? I think Erin’s adobo looks yum! There are actually many variations of adobo, and depends on your likeness. Some will cook it as pork, then let the gravy evaporate until it is dry and fry the pork with additional oil. On your version others may also add some boiled egg it in or potatoes or even go for both chicken and pork on it to give more variation and texture on the adobo. I like my adobo with tomatoes (my moms version). Wow kids are amazing too with their chef like skills! I adore how their tastebuds and olfactory nerves are spot on. ❤

[@livethephilippines]

Thanks! Yes that was her first appearance 🫶 she also made an appearance in our LIVE episode we just filmed yesterday

[@user-qi2jb7xm5i]

Great job Lockwood family for challenging yourselves by cooking Filipino dishes! Maybe do a cookoff with the Ocampos/Momduty! Love following both of your channels & inspired to visit the Philippines soon!!

You can add these to chicken adobo: Hard boiled egg, potatoes(cook em with chicken),green beans,coconut milk

[@livethephilippines]

Thanks! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@filrubio2739]

We are inspired by your family cooking together with different task to do....Wow...

[@bobbyestebanlar310]

Good job guys! Some of my own personal tips. You could marinade the chicken like a rosemary chicken just to add flavor to it along with worcestershire sauce. If u do pork adobo, try to brown it in margarine or butter instead of oil. Next, I noticed u didn't dice any onions. Most filipino dishes that have a sauce start with sauteing onions then garlic. If u don't want the meat to be too salty, don't season the meat with salt anymore as the soy sauce is salty enough. Lastly, the use and proportions of soy sauce and vinegar is according to ur personal taste. I personally do half a cup to a cup of soy sauce depending on the amount of meat then add vinegar by the tablespoon according to my preferred sourness :)

[@livethephilippines]

Oh these are great tips and it sounds delicious 😋

[@sfolista]

I love how there’s different types of ways to cook adobo! Never tried this version so thank you!! My stomach is already grumbling thinking about adobo

[@clarksteel6297]

Noo this is americanized. Soy sauce , coconut vinegar (tuba), garlic, black pepper, garlic, onion, and bay leaves. Filipino cuisine dont use things such as rose mary, Worcestershire, and butter.

You can make an extra large batch of adobo that you can use for different meals all throughout the week.Also for busy people,no time to cook,just reheat it in microwave, topstove. It can last up to 4 days in the fridge because of high acid content of vinegar and salt(sodium) for preventing the spoilage causing bacteria.
