If there’s a national food for us Pinoys, it’s definitely adobo. This simple dish has reached the four corners of the globe as homesick Pinoys cook it the way it’s cooked at home. There is no standard adobo recipe as every Philippine province has it’s own peculiar way of cooking adobo.
According to the Adobo Book, [...]
