About Adobo

Adobo is a savory and aromatic dish originating from the Philippines, celebrated for its rich flavors and versatility. Typically made with chicken or pork, it is simmered in a marinade of vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, bay leaves, and black peppercorns. The result is a tender, flavorful meal that pairs well with steamed rice. Adobo's vinegar base not only adds tanginess but also acts as a natural preservative. While it offers proteins from the meat and antioxidants from garlic, it can be high in sodium due to the soy sauce. Health-conscious versions may use reduced-sodium soy sauce or lean cuts of meat to lessen fat content. A staple in Filipino cuisine, Adobo is a comforting dish that balances indulgence with potential health benefits when prepared thoughtfully.
