Receta Adobo sa Puti
I guess the most popular Filipino dish of all time is adobo and for those who don’t know them where were you all these years
Adobo is a dish made out of four important ingredients namely the meat (pork or chicken), soy sauce, vinegar and loads of garlic, without one of them it cannot be called an adobo apart from one exception, this adobo sa puti. Basically adobo sa puti is a similar dish sans soy sauce, I am not sure about its origins but my wild guess is that this was created by someone who planned to make adobo and found out there was no soy sauce, instead of buying one to save money he used salt as a replacement.
Now I had the similar scenario a couple of weeks ago when I was planning to cook my adobo, to my surprise I ran out of soy sauce and remember that this dish existed. The wife is quite sceptical as she never tried had adobo sa puti but the end result had spoken for itself.
