This was how my Dad cooked adobo. No soy sauce, just peppercorns, couple of bay leaves, Ilocos sea salt, a bit of vinegar. Using only freshly butchered pork (native variety) resulted in flavors so unctuous yet sublime. The crunchy bits were highly coveted. Love this story. More of this kind. Salamat!

[@marvindiego1958]

Ilocos vinegar I presume? Naimas brad.

[@billpojas7126]

Does sea salt from ilocos differ from ordinary sea salt? I can't get the idea that salt varies?

[@cme3344]

@@billpojas7126 I used to think salt was just salty and vinegar was just sour. The best way to taste salt difference is side by side sprinkled on tomato slices or scrambled eggs, with just a pinch but not overwhelm it. With various vinegars, there is depth of flavor and degrees of sourness. Also, like lime, lemon, and calamansi all sour but such different tastes.

Goes to show that I still have things to learn, when I first saw the title I was like, "how can there be a pre-colonial adobo when we learned it from the Spaniards?" I didn't realize it was called adobo because the Spaniards SAW how it was cooked, not because they taught us how to cook it. I think of myself as a proud Pinoy and conscious of my colonial mentality and I underestimate how deep it actually goes. Thank you for the lesson!

"Adobo" is just a generic term for stewed or braised dish. There are adobo from Spain & also throughout Latin America, & then there's also "daube" (same etymology) in Southern France. The Spaniards just named what the Pinoys were already cooking as "adobo" Contemporary Pinoy adobo is a fusion dish with Hokkien Chinese influence (soy sauce), most probably inspired by hong ba/ humba as well.

[@LaszloFrancino]

This 'pre-colonial' method is how Cebuanos & some other Bisaya-speaking peoples cook adobo-even to this day. You ask a Cebuano an adobo and he/she will serve you exactly this. This is sometimes called adobong pina-ugá (dry adobo), to distinguish from the usual adobo, which we comically call 'adobaw' (short for 'adobo with sabaw'). This is the adobo I grew up with. I remember we also had what Mr. Joel mentioned, this adobo placed over steaming rice and wrapped in cut banana leaf for lunch. If the batch has leftovers, it is stored in a jar of oil and it will be good for days, even a week. Talk about ancient food preservation.

[@lovarols5161]

This! I love adobong pina-uga, it's really good

[@kentlatrellsalazar1650]

Yes, I'm a Cebuano and this style of adobo is what I loved. Adobo in Manila is called Humba in Cebu.

[@ranma9823]

@@kentlatrellsalazar1650 From what I understand (from my Cebuano and Boholano friends and acquaintances), Humba is always sweet, isn't it? Metro Manila adobo isn't necessarily sweet. Some are, some are not. It varies depending on the household.

[@visionedison]

A week-old adobo or older is the best. I had a month-old adobo leftover from the fiesta that we shared while outing on the beach.

[@rots.866]

who makes things up and claims it to be pre-colonial?!? it's not like the early Spanish explorers haven't recorded about it. the precolonial adobo has no peppercorns nor bay leaf or soy sauce. but it already definitely uses vinegar, not lard or oil - ironically, using lard or oil as preservation method was introduced during the Spanish period, these are European introductions. the way Spanish explorers describe pre-colonial adobo is a lot more similar to how we do Lechon paksiw in modern times. not this "pre-colonial" adobo, nor the adobo as we now know it. Vinegar was the pre-colonial Filipinos' main method of food preservation. We have discovered it way earlier and is the reason why we traditionally never used spices to preserve food, unlike out Southeast Asian neighbors. Also, Humba is not pre-colonial. It is a Chinese-Filipino dish (Hong Ba) that's people with an untrained tongue thinks it to be similar to Adobo, but they are 2 different dishes.

[@leeroberts7836]

From where I come from, my grandmother (1919 - 2010) would only cook adobo in a clay pot with a banana leaf underneath. Instead of peppercorn and bay leaf, she uses lemongrass or ginger, atsuete water (seeds marinated in hot water to perch the water for color and flavor), lots of garlic, salt and cane vinegar. That was the traditional way of cooking that was handed to her from at least two to three generations back then. If my great great grandmother died in the late 1800's (she was greater than a 100 when she passed away, then I may assume that the recipe was the original from the 1700's. Although I am not using a clay pot anymore but with cast iron enamel, we got to make sure that the pork has to be tender (with very minimal stirring) and crispy from the rendered fat of the recipe.

[@chriswiddajonathan8941]

hello, mr leeroberts. i would like to know the exact details of this recipe if possible. it may sound redundant, but i would appreciate if you could give me the list of all the ingredients she used, and then the exact steps that you guys do to cook your grandmother's recipe. it is my opinion, but i believe yours is more native-like. bay leaves come from the sweet bay tree, which are a spanish influence because the tree comes from the mediterranean. using lemongrass ("tanglad" in my regional language) is gives it a more indigenous taste in my opinion, as well as using ginger. i would love to start cooking my adobos this way as well, to preserve her cooking style.

[@marvinseanterry9200]

Ganito ako mag adobo dito sa bahay walang toyo. Pamana pa samin ng lolo ko yung recipe. Naging cook sya ng mga hapon nung kabataan nya. Sobrang dami nyang style ng luto na sobrang layo na sa mga modernong recipe. All natural ang mga ingredients. Sarap! RIP papa lolo. Bigla kitang na isip. :)

[@budidinglives]

This is how my dad makes adobo (though not with lard, just with oil), but the method is slightly different. He said that this is how they make it in Albay. We have it a lot at home, and I think it’s the best adobo! Do yourself a favor and make adobo rice with the oil at the bottom of the pan. This method is to “salamog” the rice. Yum!

My girlfriend is from Albay and that is exactly how they make adobo. Though I wanted to put a little soy sauce

[@windbreaker57]

THIS was exactly how Lolo used to make it, what I grew up with. And because we didnt have refs then, he would let it cool a bit before transferring everything into a "tapayan" (earthen jar, similar to a demijohn/damajuana) where the lard would solidify and "keep" the pork for long storgage. He would then take out as many pieces as needed for a meal and brown them in hot oil, as you did here. Adobong puti would have all those salty, vinegary, garlicky, black peppery flavor that always went well with steaming rice, garlic fried rice, or hot pan de sal. Thank you so much for bringing this back. Im downloading this for future reference; i will be making my adobos this way from now on.

[@iandenniscruz5834]

My kind of adobo, that is how we traditionally cook our adobo in Laguna, without soy sauce. I remember my late grandmother using the palayok in the "kalanan" using woodfire, her humba/paksiw, sinigang na baka, adobo, etc. ibang-iba ang lasa ng luto sa palayok.

[@makaldz]

I agree with this. Based on the international media fed to us Filipinos who live here in the Philippines, foreigners seem to be proud of telling the world how delicious Chicken Adobo is. But pork adobo hits different; I don't know if I am biased, but the places I visited in the Philippines usually preferred offering their own versions of pork adobo instead of the chicken adobo. Chicken Adobo is reserved for native chicken, and it really is 10x better than adobo made from broilers (which became the commercial "Chicken Adobo").

We still cook like this here in Cebu. "Adobo Pinakupsan" Pinakupsan is a Visayan dish of sliced pork belly cut into smaller pieces and cooked over low heat. This slow cooking allows the fat to melt down and separate from the meat, leaving a shrunken, crispy pork slices similar to chicharon. The term “pinakupsan” is derived from the Cebuano word “kupos” which translates to “shrink”.

This is how my family in Ilocos makes it as well. The only difference is, 1. We use cane vinegar (Ilocos), which makes it more sour, look darker but also paler at the same time if it makes sense. 2. Instead of lard, they use directly the skin with thick layers of fat in it, heated up first until the lard is cooked out (Method is called "kinirog" in our language) 3. Even in chicken adobo, the porkskin + fat is still used.

[@Redplane500]

White adobo should be on the salty side. That's how the old folks make the dish last for several days because there were no refrigerators in those days! I remember my mother frying the left over adobo and that's what she served to us for breakfast with garlic rice, and fresh carabao milk or kesong puti when available. This is very nostalgic. The adobo you cooked in the clay pot looks really delicious. Thank you for this video.

My lola is a pure blooded cebuana who migrated to a town in zamboanga back in the 1930s. That is how she cooks adobo including the cookware which we call kolon here. Salt, vinegar, garlic plus pork inside a kolon cooked over wood fire. Nothing else. I personally believe nothing beats adobo that is cooked inside a kolon. It tastes better. Adobo will also taste even better the longer you store it there. It will go unspoiled for at least a week. Days old adobo on hot rice with a bit of solidified oil mix altogether with a few drops of soy sauce. That is how we eat it. It's been ages since I tasted my lola's adobo.

I just made the sort of adobo I grew up with (my mom learned from Filipino neighbors). We always had saucy chicken. I made a dry pork version from a Filipino youtuber, but I will have to try this! I think I will use a leaner cut, but keep the lard or render some fat from the belly and use that. This reminds me very much of carnitas, but with vinegar! I am an instant subscriber because I love looking into where food comes from. I completely agree that once you learn where it comes from, only then can you truly play with a dish.

[@emillion4470]

My late mom, born 1925 in Abra, remembers no refrigerators as a child- cooked Adobo just sat mellowing in a giant palayok to cool down. As long as there was an inch of fat on top covering the meat, it didn't spoil. Whenever you got hungry, you would ladle a portion out of the cooled palayok directly on top of hot steaming rice to warm the adobo. I don't know how long it lasted but i can imagine how the texture would change as the outside of the meat slowly dried out but kept the tenderness inside. Flavors would certainly further develop. Cooked Adobo seemed like a deliciously intriguing living thing. I imagine the magic of palayok cooking is that when removed from the flame, it retains heat (much like an cast iron enameled pot) it cooks it further - but not excessively so that it falls apart. The cubes of meat maintains it shape. texture and integrity.

[@cme3344]

Came here after watching Adobo 3 ways. Now I'm crying less than 2 minutes in, being reminded of my grandparents and how they made adobo(puti). They've passed and I miss them so much right now. I've tried various recipes, but none will sooth my soul, more than their basic recipe. Onion, garlic, vinegar, salt, pepper, bay leaf, pork, chicken, or both. I learned the difference between carnalizing and sweating onions/garlic at a young age, because of them. They didn't use those terms; they would instruct me to let it get brown (when making stews) or don't let it get brown (when making soups). Thank you for this video.

This is really cool! My family left the Philippines over a century ago and, of course, they brought their adobo recipe with them. But it's different than the adobo that's cooked by more recent members of the diaspora. It's not saucy at all and is heavier on the vinegar. And I think that's because it's somewhere between this adobo and modern adobo. Its a cooking philosophy that was preserved in its isolation. And well... I think that's neat 🙂

I think the "simple" method of many Filipino dishes are the reason why many foreigners will not like our dishes. It's like cooking with very few available ingredients.

Our ancestors cook based on the available ingredients in Our Island nation which is limited. Not unlike Thai, Indo, Malay , India, China that can easily trade and get spices for centuries because their borders are connected or not that far.

The very essence of pinoy adobo will always be pork, then chicken will be second; no other meats can suits its well. I tried to use beef and mutton on adobo before (I was ofw back in the Middle East so no pork products to use) and it tasted very different, no matter how well you season your sauce it just hits different. Adobo is the staple of any Filipino household because not only is it easy to cook, it is very versatile. Thanks to the vinegar we can keep adobo in fridge for a week and in room temperature fully covered it can lasts for a couple days. Adobo taste batter with repeated reheating, and you can add extra veggies and other ingredients on it if you got sick and tired of its taste. Adobo is the go to lunch pack for kids when they go to school as well as when you go out of town in beach or resorts, adobo is the go to dish to constantly bring

Adobong natural is what we call that. Usually we just use the pork's own oil by simmering it on water with salt, whole peppercorn, laurel leaves, vinegar and let the water dry. After the water is gone we just add little oil to let the pork's oil come out then fry it to golden brown. This is my fave version of adobo and it really lasts more than a week even without putting in ref.

My simple adobo: Pork (with fatty portions), coconut vinegar, patis (fish sauce), salt, onions, garlic, balck pepper, water (to tenderize). Cook until dry and lightly seared/browned. Can't go wrong.

Hope this isn’t the last of the series! We need more!

[@mazikeen9645]

This is how my lolo cooks adobo and he also uses lard, homemade too. We used to pour the left over lard in hot steaming rice plus bagoong if we don't have ulam and it's also good in fried rice. He also cooks pinakbet in palayok.

Appreciate the guy he knows alot about our tradition and history hope we see u again with this kind of content

[@sidadaako4061]

Iba-iba tawag dyan sa Bicol: adobong puti, adobo sa asin and adobo de chino (which my lola used to call it). It’s a humble yet so delish dish. Thanks for sharing.

Adobong puti! I prepared this once in one of my travels. I usually ride a bus from Davao to Pasay (dropping of at Quezon province) and the entire trip is 3 nights and 3 days. Arrived at Quezon province early morning, I still had my adobong puti for my dinner. Oil on steamed rice is enough.

I grew up with my grandparents and this is how we used to cook adobo when we were young...

[@dapanganiban]

This is how I cooked my adobo which I learned from my mom. We are from Bicol but the process is not the same as adobo sa asin. But our process is almost the same. Boil everything together but when the water is gone, we add oil to fry, The taste is inside the meat but this process takes more than 1 hour to cook.

[@jellatrestiza3958]

Dang this channel deserve allllll theee loveeeee

[@maydaygarden]

I love recipes that get back to their origins. Frying at the end is very similar to the way I prepare my carnitas. There you can see the Latina connection. Thank you for sharing this 😊

[@dialynhazell4396]

Another quality content! Thank you, Featr!

[@ralphdarryl]

This was entertaining to watch! We get the opportunity to learn how to cook while also learning about the history of the dish.

[@HappyFil]

Learn something significant about adobo, grateful for all the information you provided form us regarding this cooking method.

[@professional_gallivanter]

This is exactly how my Lola would cook Adobo. ❤️❤️❤️

[@tobito2013]

I keep coming back to this video. Someday I will recreate it.

[@gcvrsa]

Although like probably most people, I cook my adobo most often with soy sauce and make it with lots of sauce for the rice to soak up, I enjoy every variety of adobo I've ever had or cooked, and adobong puti is something I return to again and again, because the simplicity is very appealing and I do want to feel that connection with pre-colonial heritage. The main problem I have in the are where I live in the US is finding good cuts of pork that will withstand long cooking, so most often, I stick with chicken legs. I do crack my peppercorns, though, because I don't like biting into whole ones.

[@rickloginname]

When the recipe starts will lard - I know I am in a real place.

[@dorisdalanon6663]

Thanks Chef Joel for this Adobo recipe, clearly explained and surely eady to follow. God bless ..

[@remyen]

Makabili nga ng palayok sa weekend. Parang Luñis ng Batanes pero wala atang suka yun. I ❤ FEATR para sa mga ganitong content niyo.

[@th3a32]

I have been off and on doing research on Philippine regional heirloom dishes so of course I had to try to make this. It turned out so well. Thank you for the recipe!

[@janemarie7332]

i love this series (pre colonial series) pls. make more.

[@aprilwastheyear]

I had a hard time perfecting my adobong puti. Simple ingredients but difficult to perfect. Enjoyed this video!

[@smrfi]

This is how my Lolo used to do it. He makes a big batch good for two weeks. Miss you Lolo Pay. 😘

[@angelopaolo]

This is how I like my adobo. I was told by my Lola this was called adobong tuyo because there's hardly any sauce and it's just oily. This is also very good the next day to make adobo fried rice

[@bruskydu]

Dahil dito nag crave ako ng adobo. Napahanap tuloy ako sa Grabfood ng bukas pa, 11;20 PM ng gabi.

[@endeavour5316]

I love this guys, really knowledgeable and fluent
