Adobong Malabon

Adobong Malabon is also known as adobong puti (white adobo) due to the absence of soy sauce. Another name for this is adobo flakes.

Adobong Malabon is a recipe I found in The Best Of Food Magazine (A Cookbook of 180 Recipes For Filipino and International Dishes). The editor, Norma Chikiamco, got this recipe from her in-laws, who hail from Malabon. Unlike other adobo recipes, this does not use soy sauce. The resulting adobo flakes are perfect for eating with garlic-fried rice. Although you may serve this dish immediately after cooking, the favors intensify after being stored overnight in the refrigerator. It is therefore best served, reheated, a day after cooking.

Adobong Malabon is also known as adobong puti (white adobo) due to the absence of soy sauce. Another name for this is adobo flakes.

Beginner cooks can easily make this dish. Just follow the instructions!

The book where I got this recipe is old. It was published in 2001. Other newer Filipino Cookbooks may be found on Amazon.

Adobong Malabon is also known as adobong puti (white adobo) due to the absence of soy sauce. Another name for this is adobo flakes.

Ingredients

  • 1nkilo pork kasim or pigue, cut into large chunks*

  • 1 1/2 cups vinegar

  • 1/2 cup water

  • Coarse salt to taste

  • 1 head of garlic, crushed

  • 2 tablespoons cooking oil

Directions

  • Put the pork in a wok or large pan (use only non-aluminum to prevent a reaction with vinegar). Pour in vinegar and water (meat should be covered halfway).
  • Turn the heat to high. When the mixture boils, lower the heat to simmer. Do not stir the mixture to prevent a “raw” taste in the vinegar.
  • When the pork is slightly cooked, sprinkle salt and garlic all over the pork pieces. Cover and simmer until liquid is absorbed and pork is tender about 40 minutes. Remove pork from the wok.
  • Add oil to the wok and heat for about 1 minute. Stir-fry pork until it turns brown. With a wooden spoon, break apart pork chunks until they become flaky.

Notes

  • *You may use 1 Kilo of sliced chicken, or a combination of pork and chicken.
