Filipino Pork Adobo w/ Pineapple - Pai's Kitchen | Filipino Recipe

New and improved Filipino Adobo my friends! This time I'm oomphing it up with some coconut milk and caramelized pineapple. I'm using pork belly for this which I think is the perfect fatty tender cut to pair with tart juicy pineapple. I got the idea from you guys! On my original Chicken Adobo video, many of you left comments about your favourite adobo variation, and some people said pineapple, others said coconut milk. I thought it would be fantastic to put BOTH these things in the dish and my gosh is it GOOD!
If you've tried my first adobo, try this one, because it is BETTER!

[@andrewconcepcion2660]

Pailin's Kitchen also pls try adding chicken liver to thicken sauce 🙃

[@donnadv6350]

I also used balsamic vinegar which is great also. Lately, I used both Filipino vinegar and balsamic and its fantastic!

[@jeefah333]

Hello Ma'am Pai, your adobo is very amazing, thanks for sharing it with us. I am Filipino by the way and thank you for going an extra mile in making this beloved dish. More power and God bless 😊😊😊

[@verycarla67]

just made this. it didn't turn out as pretty as yours did, but holy moly it was INCREDIBLE! i've only made adobos with chicken before, but i'm a convert to pork belly!

[@Jackben1mble]

Add potatoes too. Thet should be as big as the pork cuts

[@leechrec]

Pork belly in Adobo is da bomb

[@RatheadX]

"That fat....doesn't concern me........................" I nominate you for President of the World! ;)

[@RandomUtubeacct]

It was so weird. Right when you stirred the pineapple I smelt a breeze of pineapple & thought I was trippin' and turned to see my bf sitting behind me eating a bowl of pineapples. LOL

[@PailinsKitchen]

Lol!! That would trip me out.

[@mariapimping768]

I am a filipino and its been my practice to cook adobo with either coco milk or pineapple. So its one or the other but this one amazes me so im going to give it a try. Thanks Pailin.

[@ryokibaby]

Good job Pai! Ive been on your channel for quite sometime now and i'd like to thank you for taking the time to cook this classic filipino dish. Keep it up!

[@mark_anthony_g]

Amazing! It always excites me whenever you upload a new video. Being Filipino... i have never tried this kind of adobo. Looks delish! Ur a genius in combining coconut milk and pineapple. Typically, adobo with coconutmilk is done in the Northern Island of Luzon in the Phils. specially in Bicol Region. While pineapples are adundant in Southern Philippines (Visayas and Mindanao Island). A lot of pineapple plantations in the country are mostly found in Mindanao. So it's like you combined the adobo version of the whole Philippines! That's Amazing! 🐷🏝🍍🇵🇭

[@mizhersheehsrehzim1009]

Mark Anthony Gonzalez Bicol is South of Luzon

[@PailinsKitchen]

Haha, it's the "United Filipino Adobo"! What a great way to look at it, thanks!!

[@jerbyzayat2515]

Mark Anthony Gonzalez we call it adobe sa gata na may pinya.. I’m from Bicol

[@socalrcguy1]

Cilantro no way

[@jojiethaadolfo3284]

Mark Anthony Gonzalez in Bicol sometimes we cook adobo sa gata 😊 and sometimes we put pineapple too .

[@Blackpearl23182]

Omg, i love all your cooking, they're all well described and with a good quality videos. Honestly, even Gordon Ramsay will be speechless!

[@markanthonyguarino1427]

Love this Pai!!!! Im a Filipino and i really love your show!!! No 1 fan here!!!! Cant wait for you to visit the Philippines!!! We love you 💟💝💞💗💖

[@777residentevil]

I was never a fan of the traditional way of cooking adobo which is searing the meat first. I was taught by my mom to just put everything in the pot. with the smashed garlic, skin-on and let it braise for an hour until the sauce is reduced. I feel like it gives more of a powerful adobo taste since whenever I do the searing method, there's just something off with the "fried" taste. I also put hard boiled eggs with it because it's a match made in heaven. I love your appreciation of other culture and food besides yours. Keep it up Pai. Maybe you would want to try on a filipino dish called "Bicol Express" which is kind of "thai" because it uses coconut milk, shrimp paste, fish sauce etc. and is also spicy. Also Pancit Palabok which i think is the best noodle dish in the Philippines.

[@leechrec]

True. The marination and slow simmer and browning via the meat's oils gives a much rounder and homey flavor for some reason ... which is actually the traditional method.

[@ganjazz]

I agree! That's how I cook mine, but now I want to try to add some pineapple.

[@mausanjuan99]

Thank you for putting so much love and effort in cooking one of our national dishes. ❤

[@athenaa.bosendorfer]

This is my first video of yours and one of the things that stood out is how you actually teach - e.g. the pork will shrink or let the pineapple to sit vs stirring will prevent the browning. I feel like it’s basic “foundations“ like that, that makes a difference and is extremely helpful with cooking overall!! Things I need help in lol, so thank you!! I'll be checking out more videos and have subscribed! 💚☺️🇵🇭

[@kkz201]

6:45 is the joy i feel every time i see delicious food thanks pai, it looks seems enough for me to try making

[@louissehighlights6783]

Pineapple is my all-time favourite ingredient in my several recipes. This chicken adobo with pineapple is one of those. Great job for this great video! That looks so yummy! 😊

[@johnfortich]

Adobo simplified is, put all those ingredients she said in a pot and cook it till meat is tender, then put pineapple chunks as an option. And it's done. The key is knowing the right proportion of soy sauce and vinegar. This is best meal for those in a hurry, always on the go and doesn't have time to be bothered by the steps, checking and stirrings in cooking. Adobo always comes out perfect even if all sauce dried out. Try it, its so easy. Main ingredients are garlic, meat, soy sauce, vinegar, water, bay leaf, and pepper; the rest are all optional.

[@gaudia3985]

Yup. Adobo in a nutshell. Hassle-free dish.

[@amazing4523]

I'm a Filipino but your adobo version is better than mine ❤️

[@Apocalypz]

Thank you for calling out canned pineapple! Request: A Thai recipe your mum or dad love but one you think they're crazy old school for enjoying.

[@kevinkeller3804]

[@RinasCooking]

Thank you for sharing this kind of recipe.

[@emjaysais]

[@itsmegeewun4959]

I'm in my way to work and see this.. And now I'm craving. Want to go back home and cook this... Love it

[@ItsNeno]

Lol the best part of adobo is drenching the rice with the sauce 😂❤️❤️❤️

[@chekwet]

This looks soo good! I'm a filipino and I've never tried adobo with pineapple before. Going to try this next time. Thank you!

[@argumentfromignorance2410]

Pai. I've been a follower for a few years now. Got interested in Filipino cuisine because of Bourdain's death and the last video I saw from him. It was in Manilla and I wanted to know more about their food. I saw your Adobo video and the praises you were getting from the locals. I saw some of them promoting pineapple and coconut milk, you did a video about it and I cooked that tonight. I'm French which means I'm a snob. But I've been a home cook for decades so I DO know stews. I stew all the time. This Adobo is very upsetting for me, there's not even a quarter of the shit we put in our stews. And I'm sure you kinda feel the same from your Thai perspective: there's not much in this dish. Garlic, Soy sauce and vinegar ? Come on ! It's not cooking. But it was incredible. I'm ashamed to say that but this very simple stew beats every other stews. So. Little. Ingredients. How. Can. it. be. that. good ?

[@PailinsKitchen]

Hi! Thank you so much for the message. Yes, this recipe is incredible for being so simple. Over the years of doing this show, and after making so many "simple" dishes, I've come to realize that simple is never an indication of flavour. I'm so glad to be able to help you experience something new and unexpected! Thank you for sharing your experience!

[@jjmina6011]

That is why it is Philippine's national dish.

[@titaallaround9692]

Lol!

[@myevega5665]

We put more onions and potatoes and or eggs..hardboiled eggs with it..the more onions,, esp the purple ones,, the more tasty..😀😀😀..in our region )pampanga..the onions do make the right flavour in our adobo..

[@Jackben1mble]

My grandma don't put soy sauce, just lots 9f salt

[@dondigancayco1430]

i just made this for me and my family and it was awesome! thanks again pai

[@kirksander]

You just pioneered a new trend maybe. I know two of the separate recipees, but never heard anyone mixing both omg.

[@terryyonashiro3735]

Pailin, Very interesting combination to make adobo. I’ve got to try this recipe. I bet the aroma must have been awesome.

[@johnmarkarnoldoful]

She cooks a better adobo. This got me drooling. Wanna try this tomorrow.

[@patquilingan9136]

Oh how I love it when you cook Filipino dishes! Thanks Pailin. If I can make a request, please cook ‘Dinuguan’ or Filipino Pork Blood Stew and Seafood Kare Kare! That would be awesome! Love your show and your channel! Thank you!!! 😍😍🥂

[@poconosgiant3255]

That looks super delicious. Nice cooking vlog.

[@CurryFishead]

Another fantabulous recipe...must try this....i always recommend your channel...to my Filipino friends..who loves Thai Foods :-)

[@tastybellie7736]

I'm trying this recipe today!! So excited! I'm using chicken instead of pork.

[@foodiefoodie8198]

Im a Filipino and I make drunken adobo and I use beer as a sweetener agent and a little pineapple juice then soy sauce reduced it to get a thick sauce in the end and i use a mix of pork belly and chicken thigh but the same you did brown first the meat

[@RGisOutOfOffice]

Just saw this channel and looks like I found my new favorite coocking channel.. it's been years since I last cooked adobo with pineapples. Watching this, I may have to try it again one of these days.

[@melrosevonbargen7619]

I am a Filipino but will definitely will try the coconut with it! I have to say, me and my fiancé is such a super fan of your menu (me the cooker and him the eater) his a German. Will tag you a photo with it! 😊 more Filipino menu please.

[@L_Leocel]

I just dump all the ingredients in a pot and let it stew over low heat for about an hour or a little more. Not fond of adding oil to an already fatty dish. I prefer Silver Swan to Datu Puti Vinegar also, for better aroma. Having said that, your adobo looks delicious, Pai. Every version is worth trying👍.

[@DisillusionedAcronym]

that looks amazing.

[@gregdallie6466]

Great instruction and great personality. Trying this tonight

[@stevennawik7663]

Thanks for sharing it. will try it out over the weekend. Cheers

[@joenesiow9851]

Different order of putting ingredients same result. I love it Pai. Proud filipino here.

[@valredor3878]

Even with coconut milk too, it's great, yummy!

[@matildepasia2163]

Wow! My favorite adobo. I'm watching from Philippines.

[@attickat7245]

I was taught that when you put the vinegar, you have to let it boil without stirring or covering the pot. It has something to do with letting the acidity of the vinegar/raw vinegar flavor evaporate leaving a sweet-sour taste to the sauce. Doing this, you rarely had to add sugar to the sauce to make it a bit sweet.

[@HachikoThePoochInugami]

Well not anymore since all commercial vinegars like Datu Puti and Silver Swan were already pasteurized at the time of manufacturing. However, the method of not stirring the adobo when you put the vinegar in still applies to homemade cane and coconut vinegar.

[@mingcalarde2329]

Love to watch you enjoying while cooking filipino food...🤗 makes me miss home😋

[@Vic-fk7bm]

Yummy.. I will definitely to cook your adobo style Ms. Pai..thanks for sharing🤤

[@melangeles7047]

Had tried this recipe... it's really WOW !

[@geobravoduran2360]

Another version to try to. Looks so delightful.

[@TheJoaqui10]

My version is pork ribs adobo same process with staple adobo ingredients, plus mushroom, potato and broccoli. Yummy! Mabuhay from the Philippines.

[@veronicakcomt-wong7752]

I can't wait to try this!

[@marilynraedeke3929]

Wow absolutely a great adobo recipe, Pai. I never thought of adding pineapple in my adobo. I will definitely try this recipe. Thanks for sharing.

[@Lemon_skeet24]

I’m excited to try it. I will cook this tomorrow. 😋

[@ramonlegs3076]

Tinola is a prominent dish too, next to Adobo and sinigang. Usually it was eaten and serve with a dipping sauce, composed of patis(fish sauce) and siling labuyo(chili). may you read my request, happy cooking.

[@ronalddouglas7834]

How could it not be delicious. And it was. Twice.

[@JL_Loki]

I like anything with pineapple. And adobo with it is my favorite. Plus with coconut milk? Now that's drool worthy!

[@michaelbobek3543]

That looks so delicious. Waiting for cooler weather to make this

[@jims6056]

This is my ALL TIME FAVORITE!!! 😍😍😍😍😍

[@pacpac1997]

I’ve only heard of chicken adobo before but this pork one looks interesting! Can’t wait to give it a try!

[@Inday_Yawa]

we actually use different ingredients as mains for adobo: -chicken -pork -fish (milkfish, tilapia) -kangkung (water spinach) -long beans well uhm ... actually as long as you have soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, onion (optional) ... you can cook adobo with any ingredient you like. (just make sure not to stir right away after you add the vinegar ... let it simmer for like a good 8-10mins. first.)

[@kaitcalista]

I love making this with coconut and pineapple too. Yummy!

[@mharkish]

So yummy. You just cooked it great Ms. Pai.

[@kj05designer]

Favorite dish ever!!! And that end video. Way to relax alright 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@wilmaduallo5401]

Iam always watching frm lapu lapu city PHILIPPINES.yummy food ,good job.

[@romeldionisio3149]

In the home province of my late father they cook White adobo, they use the same adobo ingredients except for soy sauce instead they use salt and fish sauce. And they cook it slowly until the pork belly gradually extracts their own fats and fries gradually. In Filipino we called it (Adobo Tagalog) And top it with a lot of toasted garlic. It's good until the next day and use it for your fried rice. 🤤🤤🤤🥰🥰🥰

[@concerncitizen8988]

Love it. 👍Pai, that's an amazing yummy dish done perfectly. Thanks for sharing video.

[@TheOriginalRick]

Pork adobo was the first thing that Mrs. Rick cooked for me the day after we got married. Which was quite a shock to my system as I was a small-town kid from the Midwest, who grew up on steak and potatoes. That was 49 years ago, and we still can't go thru the meat section of the supermarket without picking up some country ribs or a small pork butt for adobo the next day.

[@rogerx9298]

Adobo is my favorite dish to cook (and eat) because it's so flexible. I cook it with variations too, either with 1 extra ingredient or a combination of: coconut milk, ginger, star anise, paprika, honey, oyster sauce, fish sauce, chili peppers, etc. Not all of them at once -- I only add 1 or 2 extras at a time like you did with the coconut milk and pineapple. I try to make the twists not so prominent so it still tastes like adobo. Occasionally I go back to the traditional way with as few ingredients as possible. It's always good to remember how good the original tastes like. My mother used to add 2 tbsp of chili ketchup to her chicken adobo, right at the end. That was my favorite variation growing up as a kid, but they don't make that ketchup anymore (the original Del Monte chili ketchup in the 80's). The new version don't quite taste the same. I don't sear mine at the start, but I often caramelize near the end, using a turbo broiler placed on top of the pot. Sometimes I let it dry down to caramelize in its own fat, then add some water to the desired consistency of the sauce.

[@bertiebotts5698]

I made this today but with chicken. I can't stop eating it and might do it again tomorrow.. ♥ I love this. So delicious!

[@bernievictoria5754]
