There is adobo sa gata (adobo in coconut milk). She made that style of adobo. There is also adobong puti (white adobo) which does not use any soy souce. Adobo can be made in different ways. Just don't use olive oil.

I'm so glad she's there joking about how "white" she looks. Too many people have to reductive a view of what an Asian person in and it's great to see her address it.

[@TGPDrunknHick]

as my Philipino friends say, they are the whitest asians anyway. mostly because Spain given how many have spanish last names. also the time honoured traditions of Australian men marrying a philipino woman. Honestly it's hilarious how many people just assume the Philipines is the same as every other east Asian country and the assumption they all have one singular culture or ethnicity.

It would be pretty exciting if you can get Chef Leah for a future Pro Chef Reacts vid on Filipino cuisine. I imagine she'd have some good insight depending on the dish being made Also congrats on the upcoming second child Chef Brian 🎉🎉🎉

[@sigmablock]

I've made a suggestion like that earlier, hopefully it happens!

[@rydralle2460]

The beauty of adobo is that it is not hard to make your own version. Just remember to have the five key ingredient of vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, bay leaf and peppercorn. You can then customize it in your own way, make it a bit sweet or spicy or put in coconut or whatever reasonable ingredient in. Try to test out different ratios of the vinegar and soy sauce, also try saucy adobo with additional water or dry adobo where you maximize the reduction.

[@argonwheatbelly637]

I like the alert tone on her induction stove. It's very "Harry Potter and the Mise En Place."

[@nameless4222]

Greetings Chef Brian! Filipino here. First and foremost congrats on the second kid! As for the adobo, it's so versatile that almost all of our regions have their own takes on it. For example we have a version where the dish is reduced to the point you could fry it on its own fat and coconut milk is also a very common version. The "classic" recipe is just the base that if you followed to the t, you can definitely call your stew an adobo. From there it's up to the chef's imagination on how to further improve on it as long as we stray true to the dish's flavors and I will say that Auntie Leah did a very good job! I would have never thought of adding more dried herbs on top of the protein despite having made many deep fried pork belly braised in adobo sauce before.

[@allentituspaz3241]

Some of us use adobo with pineapples, some with potatoes.

[@roricaplaza]

there's no real "authentic" adobo. as you said, every region has their own variety. and every family has their own take on the recipe. every adobo is different, nothing is bad, and the best version is always your mom's lol

[@aut0mat1c11]

@@roricaplaza HAH! "Best version of Adobi is always made by your mom" is so on point that I might make a T-Shirt out of that!

[@chloekaftan]

there are thousands of variants to adobo just based on the type of meat used (pork, chicken, duck, prawn, shrimp, squid, jellyfish, crab, crawfish, lobster, tuna, salmon, and even tofu), and hundreds of thousands of variations more from each mother doing it a bit differently, then there are major shifts in the style of adobo based on the region, some adobo will use a lot of soy sauce and little to no vinegar, others will use a swimming pool of vinegar and little to no soy sauce, some will leave out the water, some will add coke instead of sugar, some will use cane vinegar over white vinegar (using heinz distilled vinegar is a cardinal sin), some will use coconut vinegar, some will use lambanog (coconut alcohol), some will add water spinach (kangkong), some will add potatoes, some will add carrots (at your own risk, carrots tend to soak up a lot of saltiness), etc. but the main basic ingredients always stay the same, meat, whole black peppers (or freshly crushed, not ground), dry bay leaves (fresh bay leaves are not the same), and obscene amounts of garlic (if you fuss over 1 bulb of garlic, throw another 2 bulbs in. time to open your mind to the umami of garlic). so really its pretty damn hard to mess up adobo, its such a simple dish that can be transformed in nearly a million ways, so unless you're trying to fcc it up like rachel ray, you'll do great. edit: believe it or not coconut milk is actually an ingredient used in a variation of adobo called adobong manok/baboy sa gata. but we use chicken (manok) instead of pork (baboy) for it since gata (coconut milk) will weaken the intense sweet meaty flavor of pork belly, whereas with chicken it makes it creamy and glossy. not to say that this recipe doesnt exist in filipino cuisine, its just not as popular since filipinos love intense flavors, often what we would do to counterbalance it is to add more soy sauce than usual to balance out the coconut milk. 2nd edit: adding what is essentially a poached egg into adobo is rather curious, i cant recall any variation of adobo i've ever eaten that does that. many do soft or hard boiled egg but this is the first time ive seen poached egg in adobo, and not only that but she mixed the egg into the sauce and gave it an elevated depth of flavor. very interesting. i might try this out on adobo day. 😊

[@blitzerspectre]

Now the world needs Jamie Oliver's adobo!

[@chilibreath]

Please no...Uncle Roger and Chef Brian will not recover.

[@zettlog]

Cooking adobo with gata (coconut milk) is another variation of adobo called "adobo sa gata". Mostly found in Bicol and Quezon region in the Philippines.

[@Eileen_in_Vegas]

Instant Minute rice would probably give Uncle Roger a heart attack 🤣

[@mst7724]

Nah, the Malaysian accent (Manglish) that "Uncle Roger" has is a signature that many of us are proooud of ! (Boleh ) It's something that someone else may wish to mimic (and never could)😅 I gave up on "fixing" it years ago. Don't change it Uncle Roger. 🥰 Couple weeks ago, I showed the Rachel Ray's Adobo vid to a Filipino friend & he went into a long cursing spree like... goodness me bloody hell🤣 He didn't curse on this one so... yeah eh (not Jamie Oliver lol)

I live in the Bay Area and I shop at places like H Mart (Korean Grocery store) and the uhh…”Uncle Rodger Accent” we’ll call it is very common and helpful for interpersonal interactions, like ordering food or finding proper sauces. You do that Accent shit at a regular Safeway and it’s a whooole different racial connotation 😂😂😂 CONTEXT MATTERS

I just saw someone on another channel and her family used coconut milk in their adobo so it’s really a thing, not just what is most commonly known version. 😊

[@stephenbaluran3298]

This was an awesome take on adobo! We Filipinos have done a lot of crazy things with adobo, so we like it when people try to elevate the dish. In Leah's case, the sous vide egg with the coconut milk...it's just 🤌, y'know? Can't wait for the Rachel Ray video. That's an example of how NOT to make adobo (and what NOT to do with rice).

It is called adobo sa gata which directly translates to adobo in coconut milk. It is a very common adobo variant esp. in the southern parts of Luzon like the Bicol Region.

Adobo with coconut milk is a regional dish "bicol region" to be exact and in the Muslim region in south Philippines the burnt coconut milk is also utilize

[@jubalharshaw2550]

Coconut milk in adobo isn't strange at all. Just depends where you were born/introduced to Adobo. My main family came from just north of Manila and we use the soy, vinegar, garlic, peppercorn, and bay leaf recipe. However my aunt raised in the south used coconut milk.

[@rgi8426]

It is so nice to see Leah laugh at uncle roger's pronunciation a little bit. We do it all the time, and it's fun with no offense meant. What I'm saying is that I'm happy we're still able to talk to each other this way in this day and age.

I bought a rice cooker after watching Uncle Roger's first reaction video. The best investment during Corona time. Wash rice in the morning, put it in the rice cooker and set the timer for lunch break.

[@ivorydragon]

Braising the pork is how we make adobo, never seen my family marinate it before cooking on this end

[@pedrohenriquelima8364]

I have rice cooker at home also. I eat rice everyday, because I’m brazilian and in Brazil we eat rice and beans everyday

[@acerimmerz]

Adobo is a good one to get the uncle title - an Aussie chef called Andy Cooks got his uncle title from it and I don't think Roger has reviewed any other of his videos.

[@karasuma_seiichiro]

It is true. There are certain regions here in the Philippines that include coconut milk in Adobo

[@lyssamalloy5162]

Theres also an old version of Chicken Adobo i love so much as a kid .. the sauce is mixed w/ puree chicken liver and has quail eggs and fried potato wedges on top it is so good w/ plain steamed rice 😊

[@The_Chef2511]

The Filipino family I know use less soy, a lot more salt, and quite a bit of annatto along with white pepper because they like their food peppery. There's another variant that uses tumeric.

[@adym15]

14:10 absolutely! Love your reaction videos, but I wanna see you flex your cooking skills as well!

[@re.ne.c]

Awesome videos…. I have been enjoying your content and especially Frenchie. I am no KZbinr expert, but one suggestion with editing. It was a bit weird seeing the side of your face when you were talking and explaining about overcrowding. It would have been nice to have a cut out showing exactly what you were explaining. Rather than just seeing the side of your face, shifting the focus to the topic of discussion. Other than that, awesome videos, really dig the vibe, the esthetic and the energy you bring 😊

[@ianrosenbalm6555]

Chef Leah's adobo seems to be a fusion of two adobo variants---"adobong Bisaya" (which is largely dry adobo deep-fried) and adobo sa gata (which a lot of people here have explained already). I will say, the addition of the egg yolk and bay leaf powder is something I'm eager to try.

[@chilibreath]

Chef Leah also pays tribute to the chicken adobo dish that includes hardboiled eggs (gotta have that protein).

[@mad-loki3180]

I also like this version of adobo. I have tried it several times but never cook it at home. Usually we cook common adobo (like in the video) and the adobong pula (red adobo). adobong pula has no soy sauce (or maybe a little depends on the person) and it has achuete seeds. I love my grandma’s version of this. She usually added the vinergar at the last partnof cooking.

[@Kazuha-jd3fl]

Did Chef brian say he has a second kid on the way?! CONGRATULATIONS 🎉

[@carlfjnon]

Well this is my cue to cook adobo again tonight. You should also check out the video floating around on how pre Spanish Colonial era Adobo was made. The guy's name is Joel I believe. Definitely something worth checking out :)

[@Alouette_EXE]

Other than coconut cream, there are people who put tomato sauce, lemon grass, ginger, pinapple, onions, chilis or other ingredients that are native to Filipino cuisine. And yes even soda or banana ketchup can be used in adobo.

[@marsonavi]

Most regions in the Philippines have their own version of Adobo.

[@Donsanity]

12:25 I went to a Filipino fusion restaurant called Park's Finest in LA and they served Pork Adobo with coconut milk and it tastes really good.

[@souleater214]

I make adobo with coconut milk sometimes.. sometimes with oyster sauce (was great though), sometimes dry adodo, like just a little sauce, sometimes saucy...sometimes we put a little sugar... Brown sugar..

[@runawaytrain1979]

Seen so many vids of Uncle Roger not whiping his mouth I also stopped doing it untill I leave the table! Marinating my chin became a thing because of him! 🤣

[@manuelcastillo2542]

Every region in the Philippines has their own version of adobo. Where I come from, the Ilonggo version doesn’t make use of soy sauce, just vinegar, heaps of garlic, bay leaves as aromatic, and achuete for color. And since there’s no soy sauce, and the vinegar dries up with the stock, the result is a dry-ish adobo with very little sauce.

[@TheJazzero]

In the southern region of the Philippines, we do use coconut water or rice water(2nd wash) for our adobo....

[@nelsonlomod9601]

The many types of adobo in the Philippines makes it easy to freestyle adobo. Other than the classic soy sauce adobo, there is adobo in turmeric, adobo in coconut milk, adobo puti (white adobo)soy sauce free, fish sauce is used instead, theres abobo sa alamang(adobo in slightly fermented krill) the alamang is used instead of soy sauce and there's also adobo tuyo(dry). And adobo can also be veggies and seafood too.

[@sanogamble7797]

As a filipino, we do sometimes put coconut on adobo, its for making it creamy..actually its not a common version in the south but more on the north.. southern adobo also dont use soy nor sugar...just few ingredients you can count on your fingers.. coconut vinegar, garlic, bay leaves, black pepper corns and salt.

[@jdl.polycheminc4955]

both dishes look good😋she is right, some Filipinos add coconut milk in adobo. You can also add potatoes, boiled eggs or even pineapple🥰

[@abby-i1i]

I cook my adobo like uncle Roger's but adding about 2-3 spoonfuls of brown sugar (for a kilo of pork) and fried potato wedges as a side dish. I also prefer cracked peppercorns (something between whole and powder peppercorns).

[@gelosobrepena4508]

Some Filipino dishes, especially the ones that are heavily influenced by Spanish cuisine do use olives and olive oil. Adobo has a lot of regional styles and variations. Among the more popular regional styles outside of the typical adobo that most people see is 'adobo sa gata' (adobo cooked in coconut milk/cream). Adobo sa gata is really good with a a lot of ginger and chilies when using gamey meats like wild boar, venison, snake, or offal. But you can also just make regular adobo with game meats and offal cuts.

[@ninovillegas9837]

In the Philippines, we commonly use COCONUT OIL in frying and sautéing. Coconut oil has a high heat tolerance and it is more healthy benefits.
