Its true that there are many variations of adobo, depending on which region of Philippines. But the core ingredients are either chicken thighs/wings or pork, then Silver Swan branded soy sauce & vinegar, Bay leaves, lots of garlic, and whole black pepper.

[@cesarvelchez6527]

But not his ways!!!

[@zflick]

This just occur to me, that the way he cooked that "ADOBO" with a very small amount of vinegar and lot of onions and less garlic, with the addition of Lemon changes the dish from "ADOBO" to "BISTEK". normally BISTEK uses calamansi but lemon can be an alternative. you just have to add some onions on top and It's ready.

[@leechrec]

hehe true. At some point, you gotta say, "wtf is that?" 😅

[@LordSabbathiel]

Families and even regions of the Philipppines have derivations of classic adobo, but they always held true to the actual preparation and cooking of the meat, served in the dish. The Food Network's version was a travesty.

[@martina-xo1kx]

Adobe should be 3 head of garlic and and big head of onion

[@justlilygrace]

I said in my comment in Uncle Roger's channel about this video... 3 words, NOT EVEN CLOSE. My take was he said "traditional", and this is not even traditional. It was like a knife twisting in every Filipinos' heart on the comment. RIP that adobo.

[@creepynoodles8111]

And to think that Zakarian is an Iron Chef. My father loves cooking and can cook both Tagalog and Ilocano dishes. I can honestly say, I have never seen an adobo recipe like that. My father would have said this dish is bastos.

[@maggieowen5312]

This demo of Filipino Adobo is so, so far from the traditional and/or regional one !!! My dad is from Bicol n they hv Adobo w lots of garlic (say 1 head), vinegar n coconut milk (gata/ 2nd squeeze then kakang gata/ 1st squeeze), salt n whole peppercorn. There is NO onion - There is NO peppers 🌶️ Habanero - There is NO parsley as garnish topping - There is NO lemon 🍋 wedge on the side - This is one Dish that Food Network really messed 😳🫣 up !!! I can’t even call it Fusion of the dish 😮 U need to get several Filipino cookbooks n get it right next time🤨🥴😬

[@reenapamaran28]

I enjoyed watching your reaction vlogs Nelly your enthusiasm never runs out hehe, Yah any foreigners can try their own version of adobo, just to make it taste according to their preference. Uncle Roger is hilarious and straightforward with his reactions, love it!

[@WhatsupPhilippines]

Thank you so much 😁

[@TB3_omori]

it's fun to watch reaction videos. and I agree with him about cooking adobo, it is supposed to be more on vinegar and garlic than onions. because traditional Adobo tastes and smells vinegary and garlicky when it's cooked. when we say traditional you should cook it right or exacted ingredients of Adobo. what they did in the food network was a fusion of the western style of adobo. well actually we Filipino love to eat spicy food but some aren't. that's why many of Us love to eat Bicol Express, Bopis, Dynamite, and Korean foods.

[@kenshead2295]

If my grandma saw that on television, she'll probably throw a broom and slippers in the tv. He said "Traditional Adobo" but didn't used proper ingredients. Some part of the Philippines who love spicy maybe in Central and South part of Luzon idk in Visayas and Mindanao.

[@kaiketsuzoro6890]

Bicol Region

[@jaycarbos]

Here in cebu our chili pepper is called siling yawa meaning demon chili the spicy is x5 hotter than regular pepper

[@rhaxeedo]

Spicy is optionak in the philippines. Some like it, some don't. That's why chillies are always on the side with the condiments, just add if you want it hot!

[@tipinmac4223]

I see this adobo has no vinegar for the first time😆 the main ingredients for filipino adobo are soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, laurel leaves, peppercorn optional for brown sugar.. we do not marinate the meat just simmer until less water content..

[@tegamingother]

Looks like the "deglazing" part got you. And it also got me i was wheezing XD im going to use that whenever im out and about now.

[@virgodess]

You’re right there man! Traditional adobo has no onions but lots of garlic. But then every region in the Philippines has their own version of adobo whether pork or chicken, that some of them uses onion as well as garlic. In some part of the Philippines they uses anato extract instead of soy sauce, some would use fish sauce (patis) instaed of soy sauce! And that my friend is what we call “ADOBONG PUTI”, which measns, white adobo. So you can be really fancy in making adobo. But as i said, the traditional adobo seasoning calls for only, garlic, soy sauce, coconut vinegar, whole peppercorn and bay leaves.

[@a.syching678]

What? No! Adobo originally didnt have soy sauce that's why it has a variation called adobong puti, fish sauce is optional and you only add about 1-2 table spoon and is never meant to replace soy sauce. Fish sauce is extremely salty. Normally in traditional adobo you use 1/3-1/2 cups of soy sauce and in adobong puti 1-2 table spoon fish sauce (optional) So as you can see fish sauce can never be a substitue for soy sauce and is not required for adobong puti.

[@abbieyee7772]

Gaano karami ba iluluto mo, dami patis e..

[@MrTRexPh]

When you said "Filipinos don't eat spicy", it really depends what regional delicacy you're eating. For example, Bicolano food are generally spicy. I for one, chew on chili when eating. Depending on the food, of course.

[@JC0820]

If they mean Filipino cuisine, they are partly correct because Filipino cuisine is generally not spicy, if we want them to be spicy, we make our sawsawan spicy. But saying Filipinos don't like or don't eat spicy food is wrong.

[@marvinsulzer8258]

But Filipinos wouldn't use Haberneros to spice their food.

[@lalynobsuna591]

The reason why traditional adobo don't have onions is to store it longer because not all Filipinos specially in the provinces have refrigerator. My grandparents store adobo in a stone or clay jar for months. But they have different recipe for that adobo.

[@yueprime1411]

thats the southern style adobo with local Sibujing sakurab herbs and some with Ginger. and Garlic is packed. it can be preserved for many days in a jar, even ants and bugs dont go near it. the vinegar and spices preserves it.

[@nestordecastro7621]

We cook adobo without soy sauce and union since we don't have refrigerator then we put in the glass jar it's good for a month

[@Papabogs1020]

that parsley in adobo cracks me up .. 😄😄😄😄😄

[@jpcmonilla]

The adobo I like should have that thick and sticky sauce. So I boil the hell out of the water until it's reduced to almost nothing LOL. No parsley, onions are acceptable, loads of garlic, more bay leaves, and regular soy sauce. I do adobo Bicolano style as well where you use lots of salt instead of soy sauce. Also, I put the vinegar last when it's almost done. Doing this will give you more tender meat since vinegar has this effect on raw meat which makes it a bit hard when cooked.

[@Bicolanaandkano]

Adobo ingredients,..meat,garlic,onion,pepper,soysauce and vinegar..sugar optional only..

[@lifewinsvlog]

I look cooking, and I also love cooking Filipino dishes with a twist. That is art. And yes, I also add parsley to adobo sometimes or whatever veggies I could find available.

[@nbacct22]

A new video from this channel. YES! 😁

[@janicellanes5671]

The most important ingredient for an adobo is soy sauce and vinegar (of course plus meat) The balance with this two just makes the adobo really delicious. The garlic should not be added with Onion or else it will become a different Filipino dish. Same with Kalamansi/lemon, it will become a different Filipino dish.

[@WhatsupPhilippines]

yes balance is key!

[@rosannehernandez2514]

[@domingobernabe718]

One way of cooking adobo is to put everything at one time onion garlic chicken or can be with pork den soysauce pepper little cooking oil can put peeled potato. After you think the meat is already xooked den put some vinegar or lemon but once you put the lemon or vinegar dont still it.. wait for a certain time till the lemon and vinegar cooked. Add some salt or margarine then after cooked it is ready to serve. Not the one i saw to rhis video

[@linaemory6281]

The real traditional Adobe consists oflittle water soy sauce, vinegar, lots of garlic, pepper corn a very minimal bayleaf (optional ) Mix altogether, simmer. After it simmers down to just enough liquid, scoop that sauce to separate in a small bowl. The meat (chicken, pork or beef) shoud be fried a bit and then pour the sauce back to skillet and simmer to desired thickness.(unless you prefer the sauce like a soup). Some like it liquidy ( I don't , as for me the flavor is more flavory with its thickness than being soupy like sinigang. BTW, every now and rhen, I add up a few boiled

[@jomaragosita6518]
