Two things I learned from this video: Adobo cooks it’s self and preserves its self...adobo has it’s life all the way together.

[@Thevietvegan]

😂😂

[@chrisschard]

My grandma taught me her adobo recipe growing up. My dad and I are the only ones that know the recipe. After she passed away, whenever I make vegan adobo, I cry happy tears because it reminds me of her and it's also spot on with taste. Btw, never seen banana with adobo, but I've had banana with fried rice lol.

[@springbearsinlove]

yes please to a filipino spaghetti recipe! i'm so thrilled for this series - you and janelle are the perfect team and i just can't stop smiling whenever the two of you are together :)

[@muriel6843]

Your look of horror after Janelle plopped a whole banana into her bowl killed me 😂

[@Thevietvegan]

I don't know what I was expecting 🙈🙈

[@barrbuff]

As always, you two are so adorable, love every one of these with Janelle. “The adobo makes itself,,, LOL”

[@joonaysan]

You mean adobo-dorable. Hehehe. :D (scnr XD)

[@XoxoHaiti]

That looks so good! Janelle, I'm Haitian and I eat some rice and pasta dishes with bananas and other Haitians think I'm weird 😂 I really appreciate that a lot. Like ketchup spaghetti with banana.

[@bukoelijah]

I eat almost every rice dish with a banana! My fam and I are from the Philippines. Awesome video!

[@avgc]

True, my mom’s adobo is the best! Followed by my lola’s! They both added some sweetness, I assume, to cut the taste of vinegar a little? My mom uses sugar, and my lola used apple cider vinegar, which is genius. Can’t wait to try this version of adobo! I haven’t had good vegan adobo yet. 😆

[@swagger1021]

I AM REQUESTING THE SWEET SPAGHETTI!!! LOL pls!! with vegan hot dogs 0__0

[@Thevietvegan]

Yall killing me 😂😂 we actually planned on doing it this time around but we figured we'd tackle adobo first. I believe our next installment will be pancit and sweet spaghetti

[@sfveganfoodie]

I second the sweet spaghetti! I just watched a virtual Filipino cooking class today via Zoom and that's what they made! Looked delicious!

[@Alice_Walker]

I love those this series! Janelle is so charismatic and this looks delicious!!

[@shanbananx]

Those "chicken" drumsticks look so interesting! Like the ones from the Hot Ones show. Wish they had them on the west coast!

[@Thevietvegan]

I think Kings is a pretty large producer so they could be the manufacturer of the same ones for Hot Ones? Not sure about their US shipments

[@Rennie212]

The wings from hot ones are shipped from temple of seitan in London

[@Thevietvegan]

@@Rennie212 whaaaat for real?! Thats so intense.

[@Rennie212]

The Viet Vegan yeah it’s pretty crazy but it’s definitely worth it because temple of seitan is amazing

[@pheobebuffay]

I love this Filipino series! So happy you're doing this

[@steelstrings87]

Janelle is such a great cohost, it's so fun to watch you guys together.

[@LikeRustedWings]

I love Janelle!! Will definitely be trying this recipe 🤤

[@shagoorat]

It was so much fun to watch this video. The food looked delicious!

[@AndreaLausell]

Cubans will eat rice and black beans with sliced bananas on the side! 🇨🇺 ❤️

[@yticivam]

We've adopted that! Here in the Philippines we have a dish called arroz ala cubana and it's meat mince with peas and carrots in tomato sauce and fried plantains!

[@joshm3519]

Where do I buy King’s Soya Drumstick in GTA? Any stores where you get it from? This looks fantastic! 😍

[@kaoritexas8689]

Omg! Those chicken looks so real!😳🤯

[@ashleyalhadeff]

Must be a Filipino thing. My in-laws WILL NOT give me an adobo recipe 🤣

[@TheDiscountVegan]

You guys are hilarious together. This looks interesting though. Something new to try!

[@Hebbybya]

I love this series so much!

[@nax1735]

You two are so fun to watch!!! Subscribed so quick even if this was the first of your vids i came across!!!

[@tarawalters9236]

I made this with soy curls and used apple cider vinegar with a little brown sugar which cut the sour a bit!

[@sylviagarciadealba7297]

Can you make lumpia??

[@Thevietvegan]

We already have :) It's in the Filipino playlist!

[@sylviagarciadealba7297]

The Viet Vegan thaaank you!! I just finished watching it. It seems like a labor of love to make....is it worth it???

[@Thevietvegan]

@@sylviagarciadealba7297 when is fried crispy savoury deliciousness not worth it?!

You and Janelle need to make a TON more videos I love these! ❤

[@mravenwing]

Pancit recipe please! ❤️ ❤️

[@andreakoroknai1071]

came here to say just that :)

[@Thevietvegan]

Added to the list!

[@sensiblecrime7699]

My mother's been gone for years and I still remember her potato salad and fried chicken. They were better than anyone else's.

[@Thevietvegan]

You are so lucky to have a parent that cooked delicious food 🖤 my mom is a great cook but my dad was not very skilled in the kitchen 😂 hope you can recreate some of your mother's recipes to remember her!

[@sensiblecrime7699]

@@Thevietvegan Thank you for your comment and your channel. You've changed the way I cook and helped me learn to use mock meats more. Is there any chance your mom would appear on your channel sometime?

[@Thevietvegan]

@@sensiblecrime7699 she has been in a few vlogs but she doesn't really like being on camera so no plans to do that for now!

[@EHisCanadian]

Yay! Been waiting for this one for so long, you've been hyping it up!

[@Thevietvegan]

I've been testing it a lot XD

[@mariadelprado565]

Yes! I love steamed banana ( plantain) in my adobo. ❤️👍

[@stardreamerlove]

Janelle saying it took 30 days made me think of that spongebob episode with the potato salad and they’re like “it took us 3 days to make that potato salad, 3 days!!” 😂

[@cathycintolo1849]

I'd support you but I'm out of work (stroke due to hole in my heart) for the forseeable future. I wonder if potato chunks and soy curls would work in this.....

[@Thevietvegan]

Absolutely no pressure to contribute! Take care of yourself first. i think potato and soy chunks would work really well! Also edit: I don't think I read this thoroughly but after rereading I'm very sorry you had a stroke and are out of work. Please take care 🖤

[@tmh9149]

If someone could post a link to buy these drumsticks online I would be forever grateful!!

[@Thevietvegan]

I link to the product in the blog post :) i dunno if you can buy them online though since its usually frozen for me

Cubans also eat saucy salty things with banana

[@shezs3255]

You guys are soo funny together! LOL You're face when you tried the banana killed me!! It does sound super weird together.

[@Thevietvegan]

I really tried to be open to it but the texture of it all in my mouth was a wild ride haha

[@shezs3255]

@@Thevietvegan Bananas have such a strong flavour too. I totally get the salty sweet combo tho

[@marindado556]

I learned from Sawa at the Bon Apperit testkitchen that in Somalia they eat a banana at every meal to complimemt the spicy food with the sweet and the creamy of a banana! And fried bananas are also very common In a lot of different food cultures.

[@Thevietvegan]

Yeah! Fried bananas are a classic in Vietnamese cuisine for sure! But moreso as a dessert haha

[@angeliesy1021]

I just discovered your channel - you two make a great team - im also half filipino so i was curious how you made filipino dishes vegan- very cool 👍 i did not think it was possible -- i add coconut milk to my adobo - in the south this is what they do - its great with coconut milk

[@CheCrudo]

Hi Viet Vegan, thanks for all your videos! I just transitioned into a vegan lifestyle and your channel helps me a lot, both in learning how to cook and in having lots of vegan food choices. This past weekend, I made your crab/lobster roll recipe, and it was a hit with my meat eater friends. I have yet to try your Pinoy creations, but they all look delicious! Can I request you to veganize the Pinoy Mango Float Dessert? Thanks in advance!

[@anabelsama]

In Spain we also have adobo, but instead of meat we used fish, and it is deep fry. It´s super easy to do it with tvp

[@michelle10261]

They look yummy. Thank you for sharing your vlog from Michelle in Australia

[@tiffbott41]

You guys are so fun on camera!!!

LMAO THE EDITING IN THIS VIDEO IS TOP NOTCH

Thank you 🙏

[@nealieanderson512]

I get the biggest kick out of you girls!!! Y’all are so cute and fun! I’ve never seen those cool chickeny leggies...sure wish I could find them in Florida!!

[@Thevietvegan]

If there's a Buddhist community or Asian market close to you, you might be able to find it! Its pretty common where I live at least 😅

[@MaiNguyen-iw1jq]

You both are hilarious, so fun to watch! 😆 😆😆 The banana grosses me out too. Love your true emotions on your face when you don't enjoy something. Way better than watching the Food Network, some of those cooks are dry and fake as hell. Keep these going❤️

[@queserasarah6010]

The adobo I grew up with was not super salty, but all the vegan versions I’ve made are so salty. My parent’s generation eats a banana with most meals, not just with adobo.

[@Thevietvegan]

This was really salty because the vinegar was super strong in it, but the revised version on the blog is 👌👌 i am super sensitive to salt so I am usually pretty lighthanded with sodium 😅

[@jemois]

Janelle you’re alone on this adobo dish with a side of banana. Try adobo with pineapple chunks mmm mmm👍

[@Jasmine-fu7qr]

love your videos

[@neilmodino9284]

Honestly if u want to cook adobo in a vegan way. You cook your vegetables such as string beans or onchoy with the ingredients soy sauce vinegar peppers garlic onions and bay leaf. There's no need for that tofu drumstick. That's a vegetarian way of making it. Its too salty because the tofu might be too salty already.

[@andrealee6191]

Oh Yum! Love Vegan Adobo! Lisa and Janelle, how about vShrimp Sari Sari?

[@janellecarpenter]

What do you usually have in your Sari Sari :P I love Sari Sari but I feel like people have so many different versions.

[@saskiavisser8988]

Does Janelle have her own channel!!! She's so funny!!! :)

[@Thevietvegan]

Sooooon!!

[@katrinathatsit]

It probably took so long because the vegan chicken doesn’t have any liquid in it like actual chicken does. Regular chicken adobo, the chicken juices will reduce down and become part of the sauce. I would try to add 1 part vegetable stock to each 1 part soy sauce & 1 part vinegar. Should be done in 30min. Also for a little added sweetness, saute the onion & garlic first til golden brown, then add the soy sauce, vinegar & veg broth.

[@yticivam]

Oooooooh. My gran's adobo is the best. I can never replicate it even when I still ate meat. But I do make a mean thrice-cooked BADobo. :) I've got about 584 versions of it though. Ugh. Now I'm hungry but we don't have soy drumsticks T_T. Tofu it is.

[@PatlLawson]

Love your energy ladies! Heading to the Hammer to find those Kings bites! They should see a bump in sales thanks to you. If not for you I’d never have known about them. Would love to meet up sometime. Maybe make that a benefit of Patreon?

[@mermeow]

Before I was vegan, I would make chicken adobo in my crockpot for 4 hrs on low heat. Recipe I used did not add onion...otherwise the same ingredients for the marinade/sauce. :)

[@karlyndeguzman8788]

How many calories are there in this dish

[@Thevietvegan]

I'm not sure! I don't tend to calculate that

[@Pilguahawa]

I love janell! Too bad she’s not in every episode!

[@miekekuppen9275]

Searing your "chicken" may not be necessary for rawness but the Maillard reaction ought to make a difference for taste.

[@Thevietvegan]

The caramelization might have changed, that's true! These were already fried before frozen though, so I don't know if it would have been helfpul

[@miekekuppen9275]

@@Thevietvegan Probably not then :)

[@jonavcast]

I made adobo yesterday and I didn't had the patience to wait after I boiled it, I put it in the oven on 220°C for 20 to 30 min... It actually worked 😅🤣

[@siddmartha]

Lol Okay so my dad and brother LOVE to eat bananas with Ca Kho (Viet braised fish?) and it's just not for me. It's cool to know other people eat like that too!

[@Thevietvegan]

That's SO INTERESTING. The sauce of this reminds me of Ca Kho but it's a lot stronger! I've been playing around with a thit kho recipe in the meantime though!

[@siddmartha]

@@Thevietvegan That's awesome. I also tried to make "chckn" adobo and it was WAAAY too salty..ended up taking everything out and sauteeing it and eating it with steamed cabbage + rice as a wrap filling lol OHHH I'd be interested in a veganized version of thit kho since there is a lot of fish sauce in it.. Looking forward to that video!

[@shimshimshirrie2]

Why don't you try putting the peppercorn in like a little tea strainer or herb strainer so you can take it out after it Cooks? Then you avoid the peppercorn bombs!!!

No banana with adobo, rather a side of chopped tomatoes and green onions.
