Soy Sauce, Vinegar, Onions, Garlic, Black Pepper, Water, Chicken and fire....


The title might be new to you guys, well, that's the main ingredient of the Filipino dish called "Chicken ADOBO", guys, its not ADOBE, adobe is a kind of software that reads PDF files... hahaha... did you know that?

I cooked Chicken ADOBO for my room mates tonight...all of them went to a certain gathering and they left me all alone here in the lodging house... i decided to cook for them instead, because i know that they'll get home hungry... weeeeeeeeeeee.... it took me a little while to gather the ingredients which i found from the Refrigerator and the other ingredients are found in the kitchen... too good i have good eyesight... lol...

First step, i took the pan and cleaned it up, second is to wash the dressed chicken meat and put it in the pan.... next is mincing the onions and garlic.... oh i forgot i chopped it really good... very fine... i want to bring out the real flavor from the onions and garlic... next step is to put 7 teasponful of vinegar and 9 teaspoonful of soy sauce... don't put it on fire yet,... one, two, three, four five, okay, put it in fire now... lol.... let it simmer for 7 minutes without stirring, and the flame should be low, so that the solution won't evaporate that fast... ooops, don't add salt... no need... soy sauce wil take good care of the flavor... while the solution is on flame, go and get the knife and peel the sckin of the potatoes, you could just wash the potatoes real good if you dont wanna peel the skin off... that wil be fine... just make sure that there are no spots... rotten part i mean... add the potato if you feel like the chicken is soft enough... let it simmer until the potatoes are soft enough... the good thing is that, you don't really need to take a open it from time to time... once you smell something real good, it means the Adobo is ready and you can turn off the flame... don't open it yet, let it sit for 5 minutes, then after that, you can enjoy Chicken Adobo, it is best with rice...

if you want your adobo to be a little it spicy, you can add green chili, or any chili that you want... i prefer green chili though, and bell pepper... really good for adobo......
