As a Kiwi married to a beautiful Filipina, I leaned some rules on cooking Adobo. Use Filipino Soy, and use Filipino vinegar. It is common to add pork belly to the chicken for texture. Bay leaves, black peppercorns, garlic, water - that's it. Browning the meat first is excellent. Sometimes a little brown sugar. I watched my wife for 2 years before attempting it, and she can still taste the difference.

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

very ture!

[@sovereigndayyouthkafir3943]

Kudos on your student mentality and humility, learning how to make a dish authentically. My grandmother (English and Russian, died 2013) did something very similar when she married my grandfather (Genoese Italian, died 1983), learning from his sister how to make all the dishes he loved so he'd never complain about her cooking. We used to joke that she was Italian by marriage because nobody would guess she wasn't Italian from the way she made frittata, spaghetti, lasagna, ravioli, or anything else. Rest in peace, Grandpa and Grandma--I miss you both.

[@communist-hippie]

I do japanese soy. And whatever good vinegar i can get my hands on. Probably every family have their own iteration. But peppar soy vinegar garlic bayleaves are essential for an adobo. Back in the days not all fillipino/asian grocery was available in sweden where i live. Som my dad was wingin it. Still delicious tho

[@honey-bagder3451]

It's not even that she isn't a "true chef". It's just fundamentally bad ideas and techniques. Like watching my toddler sisters bake cookies-- they just pour whatever in the bowl. It's like these celebrity chefs and the people who watch them are fundamentally bored by the idea of growth and just not interested in reflecting on what they make.

With regards to the peppers, thai chilis are definitely the way to go. They're very commonly used in Filipino cooking. They're so common that many Filipinos actually confuse them with local labuyo chilis (which are similarly small and red).

Siling labuyo was much smaller than thai chili, it size was half inch.

[@Prinren]

This is facts. They have the same scoville level and flavour, plus are bigger.

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

😂

[@dedalus4153]

I'm a Filipino-American and a chef by trade, and I must say that EVERY family's adobo is different. Everybody's mom, grandma, or aunty makes the best adobo. Chilies don't belong in adobo. My grandfather's recipe included no sugar but "as much garlic as you can stand." He also used whole black peppercorns which I love in adobo. Further, he didn't brown the chicken or pork first, but being a chef, you know it's the way to go. My dad recommends browning the chicken after the braise, which can be difficult. I marinate my adobo before the braise because, well, chef skills (Grandpa did not marinate). No sesame seeds, no scallions. Cane vinegar (Datu Puti is a good brand) and Silver Swan soy (be careful it's saltier than most) are key ingredients in my family's adobo, whether pork or chicken. After watching this video it's clear to me that Rachel has not sat down to an adobo dinner in a Filipino home. Instead of sesame seeds try fried garlic....

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

I'm sure it is, just like fried rice and even paella here.

[@gudbrandr]

True. Even here in the Phillipines almost every region has their own version of it. Theres Pininyahang Adobo( Adobo with Pineapples) and Adodo sa Gata ( Adobo cooked with Coconut Milk) among others. But basically, Adobo is Meat, Vinegar, Soy Sauce and Spices. For vinegar, instead of cane, I recommend using coconut sap vinegar. Gives it a certain sweetness.If you can get your hands on one thats less than 3 months but not more than 6 months old vinegar, the better since its a natural vinegar that tends to get sourer as it age. Chilies arent really unusual i'd say since we always put some in ours. We like our adobo with a little kick to it. One thing I dont see in videos though is ginger. I've never eaten adobo without ginger but I've hardly seen videos showcasing adobo that has used one. But I guess its probably one of those regional differences to the recipe as well.

[@captaintulikiva1258]

I use Marca Pina soy sauce and vinegar cos that's the only Filipino brand i can find. I learnt how to make adobo from my mom, she's not Filipina nor a chef but bloody hell she can cook and she made sure us kids all learn how to cook as well,getting whacked with the wooden spoon made us learn faster😂😂. I've only made pork and beef adobo, not a fan of chicken,Must be good since i haven't had any complaints from my customers..a.k.a My Kids😂.

[@kareymccann]

The look on your and Uncle Roger's faces when she uses her "scary" voice, had me laughing so hard. Great video fun :D

[@Hitsugix]

you know...when i cook for myself at home, i often throw a lot of ingredients together and see how it turns out (most of the time it's good). so if anyone would cook the adobo like her in their private homes, in my opinion it's totally fine. rachel ray just really shouldn't call it authentic if she adds stuff that doesn't belong there, especially on public television. also: another great reaction video at dinner time! ^^

The adobo itself isn't so bad.

​@@GlideAndSlide123putting it in the slow heat like what she did is also the same as marinating ( it's often do if you don't have time and like to have little crisp skin)... the only difference is the sauce of the adobo doesn't have the viscosity and natural chicken brood that why some other mix some pork meat

Tamari is a byproduct of miso making and is deeper in flavour. Staple of Japanese cooking. Super yummy. It’s not ALWAYS gluten free but often is because of how miso is made. 😊

[@SlCKNESS_]

I've always wanted to mention this and I see you've actually done it, so I I wanted to say I appreciate it - putting links to the videos you mention in your current video. Because a lot of people, myself included, do NOT see info cards at the end of videos ("click here to watch this"), because they tend to pop up too early and block parts of the end of some videos. So we have them disabled. It takes two seconds for me to check if you've put links to other videos in the description or not. Manually checking your entire channel, with the search function of course, on the other hand? It definitely takes more than two seconds. And that matters. A lot. P.S: There's a very small chance I've travelled back in time and left you another very similar message you've read already. In such cases just ignore this one.

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

[@noeidee924]

She made the garlic rice and adobo “pan Asian”. The only dish that I can recall that uses that much sesame seeds is the buchi/sesame ball. There’s no standard adobo recipe but the best tasting ones IMO are the marinated versions.

I think an interesting thing about the Jalapeños is that, beyond not being certain if any iteration of adobo uses it, most Filipino folks don't seem to tolerate spicyness well 😅 like ANY spicyness. Some definitely do (my Ilocano family, Bicolanos, diaspora with more exposure to spicy foods) but many, many do not. I have to wonder where she got this recipe 🤔 Edit, because I finished the video: that frankenstein rice is terrifying! Also, now you have don't have a good rice to pair with your adobo, and it's really sad!

I'm Filipino. I add chilis to my adobo. I believe there are as many recipes for adobo as there are Filipino families. Also, it's so simple, it's impossible to get wrong. It's also the first dish every Filipino child worth his salt (MSG, really) learns.

[@raccoonking7566]

My grandma actually had her own measurment system in one of her cookbooks. If I remember correctly, one recipe called for "3 apples of raisins", meaning three apple sized piles of raisins. It's just taking an already imprecise measuring system (volume) and then replacing measurments with aproximate size of item.

[@annek7262]

I admit that I do sometimes cook a whole meal in my rice cooker. Which means usually marinated chicken on top of the rice with garlic cloves and the marinade added as part of the cooking liquid. I like the garlic in that because it cooks until it is soft and sweet and delicious. I also sometimes add cut-up, marinated, rehydrated shiitake mushrooms to my rice before cooking because the mushrooms go with the eggs that will be served with the rice. However, usually, I just cook the rice plain in the rice cooker and it's delicious with so many things. The idea of biting into rice, regardless of what it is served with, and getting a giant coriander seed is just gross. (Just like cilantro... ;) You may have my share of the cilantro because it's also gross.

1. There is a variant for adobo that involves spice, called Adobo sa Sili that uses siling labuyo. A little spice is also fine. 2. Fun fact, vinegar and salt based adobo is actually a more traditional method of cooking adobo. Rachel's method though, isn't akin to the "itim adobo" that utilizes soy sauce and a just a bit of vinegar.

There is a reason people, including chefs, substitute different green herbs, including flat leaf parsley, for cilantro. A significant percentage of the population have a gene that makes cilantro taste like soap. You cannot get used to it or train your palette or anything of that sort. Our tastebuds simply do not pick up the taste that masks the one that we recognize as soap that other people find pleasant. There is no more certain way to ruin a dish and to guarantee that I will not return to your restaurant than to cover it in a cilantro garnish after I have specifically requested that such not be done.

[@n8pls543]

I'm one of those people (I have a lot of taste sensitivities), and I love cilantro, because simply... I eat more cilantro than I eat soap.

[@-Devy-]

Completely wrong. What's causing the soapy taste are aldehydes, which "normal" people can't detect, but which people with the OR26A gene are very sensitive to.

[@KenS1267]

@@-Devy- Completely and absolutely wrong. Everyone can taste aldehydes. That's why people know what people with the variant OR26A gene mean when they say cilantro tastes soapy. But go on keep telling me more about stuff you don't know anything about.

"In 2012, researchers at Cornell University conducted a study with almost 30,000 people and found that there was one specific gene that makes some people strongly dislike the taste of cilantro. OR6A2, an olfactory receptor, “codes for the receptor that picks up the scent of aldehyde chemicals” - these are chemicals found in both cilantro and soap"

I have a Philippine husband cooking chicken adobo........ but now I had to laugh sooooo hard. Usually at the beginning you put first garlic, onion let them sweat first a bit and then add sugar in it and let it caramelize before you put all the vinegar, soja sauce and water in it.....followed by the roasted chicken and seasoning like pepper, bay leaf juniper berries. than you let it simmer until the sauce is naturally reduced ca. 45 min.

Adobo is very simple and easy to prepare. I agree with you that it's hard to mess up this dish yet Rachel still managed to mess it up. I can't imagine what her adobo tastes like with the addition of cilantro & halapeño. It changes the flavor profile of the dish. But her garlic rice was the worst. I can't understand why she has to complicate it by putting those ingredients that were not needed there. That probably explained why she's making that growling, scary voice. Because trying her adobo and garlic rice is such a scary experience 😱🤣😂. But kidding aside, I'm very impressed with Uncle Roger's knowledge about our local chili. He really did his research. Kudos to him. Thanks for this reaction video. Its entertaining and informative at the same time. Looking forward to your next cooking video. 😀

1:54 - The submarine joke is one of those where my friends and I would tell the joke and ask if it's too soon? 🤣

Hey James, at the end of the video when you say that some people say cilantro tastes like soap, it's really rather that cilantro tastes like soap to some people. It's not a matter of taste, it's a genetic factor, some people have a very strong sensitivity to unsaturated aldehydes (also present in significant quantities in soap, hence the association, but also vomit, and stinkbugs, which people also reference). And for those people the aldehydes smell & taste is so strong it completely covers up the delicate aromatics you (and most people) get from cilantro.

[@stevenwoodward5923]

💯 agree

[@OnkarNath91]

James's face of impressed is the most authentic & proudest side I have ever seen.

I am a filipino-chinese from Philippines. You can cook adobo in a rush without marinading it as long as you simmer the ingredients and the sauce until the meat gets tender. The flavor will still going to be absorbed into the meat if you simmer it until the sauce gets thicken. And if you love spicy like i do then it's your choice if you put chilis but primarily we use siling labuyo or substitute it with chilis that cannot ruin the adobo flavor unlike jalapeños. And if you like you adobo a little bit sweet, you can also substitute the sugar with white sodas like sprite or 7up. Then eat your adobo with plain rice or garlic rice,

[@mischa6688]

Chef, you’re so calm and formal and a complete contrast to Uncle Roger. It’s so funny to watch this. Hahaha! Keep it up!

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

I'm at home not at work! haha

[@dsr0116]

With Asian cooking, I always just use peanut oil (so far haven't had issues with folks having allergy). If it's me, I'll also always up the spice (with Thai, will add large amount of Thai chilis for my Thai hot). RE: cilantro soap: I think it's like litmus paper-there's some people that don't like it due to their taste buds (I'm not one: I do like having cilantro garnish).

[@callmeandoru2627]

Siling Labuyo (the chili) is absolutely delicious

[@ylcbold]

Rachael's that horrific voice when uncle Roger slows it, it sounds exactly like half life zombies xD

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

🤣

[@TrustonLeongTheDriftPro]

6:19 I love how you and Uncle Roger said “What?” at the same time when Rachael Ray said “6 turns of the pan” lol

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

🤣

[@0NEOFONES]

When she put the garlic in the pan and your face was like 🤨🤨🤨 i fucking died 🤣🤣🤣

[@user-fg1wg9gg6x]

My Filipina wife taught me how to make adobo. She likes hers spicy, but said it's not traditional. She also doesn't add sugar and I've found I prefer it without sugar. She also recommends adding potatoes, but mentioned that nobody adds potatoes that she knows of... she just really likes potatoes 😂 You can make garlic fried rice, but if you make your adobo properly, it shouldn't need it. We always have garlic fried rice as a snack or for breakfast and we have fresh rice with our meals.

[@rebeccahicks2392]

I really like and agree with your attitude of "it's okay to use (non traditional or not great choice) ingredient if you're doing it at home and it's all you have, but if you're making a video to teach, you should show people the right ingredients."

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

Exactly!

[@amzyolivan672]

garlic rice - left over rice + garlic. sauté the minced garlic until golden brown then add rice , mix and add salt. finished. hehe!

[@janngarcia6074]

6:17 the synchronized "WHAT?" is hilarious haha

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

Hahaha 🤣

[@Mr.Prufrock]

As an Indian, I felt my ancestors' souls churning watching that rice.

[@yvandagting8867]

Rachel Ray, you made our ancestors cry… 😂

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

😂

[@dailyyakofmandarinchinese3363]

6:19 you guys' faces hahahhahahaha🤣

[@demonik2108]

James is becoming one with uncle Roger!! The synchronization of the WHAAAT??

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

🤣 hahaha

[@iW34Rglasses00]

I actually make my own version of the rice she made. I saute garlic and onions the add toasted rice and chicken stock with a little salt and pepper. Its essentially spanish rice without tomato and tons of garlic instead and its delicious.

[@pul0y]

I wouldn't look too badly at the use of jalapeños tbh. Some do like heat in their adobos..a more authentic spicy version would use siling haba/espada (long milder green chilis same used in sinigang). Labuyo, we rarely cook with as it is mostly for dipping sauces..though using vinegar spiced with labuyo (plus ginger, garlic and onions) is also a legit way of making spicy adobo.

[@joannasunday]

Another great vid, thanks Chef James! I have a question - when marinating chicken, should i pan-fry to get a crispy skin first or marinate the raw chicken first and then fry for crispy outer layer afterwards?

[@catherinedavidson7145]

If you cook the chicken first, you're not going to get the same level of penetration of the marinade. After you marinate the chicken, drain it as much as possible, then pay it dry to facilitate crispiness. Hope this helps.

[@catherinedavidson7145]

And, that should be pat! Autotext. Honestly!😂

[@joannasunday]

@@catherinedavidson7145 thank you so much!

Thank you! you can marinate first and then cook
