Hey guys. Today, I want to share with you how my Nanay (Mom) used to cook adobo plus my way of cooking it.
Adobo is one of the comfort foods in the Philippines.
————————————————-
From Puerto Princesa City, Palawan (Philippines), my parents bought a bukid - farm in a small remote town also in Palawan and we moved there.
Growing up, meat and other commodities were like luxury in that place - no market, everything was from scratch. Whenever we were having meat especially pork, it was often of a wild pig (boar) from a distant neighbor. Nanay would then make this adobo and add some cassavas to make it looked like larger in amount and would be enough for us - her kids.
Cassavas were readily available because we have them in our backyard.
Spices were also rare, most often just soy sauce and coconut vinegar (langgaw) for adobo - very basic.
Oh life is so hard sa bukid!
————————————————
In the meantime, I spotted some cassavas while doing our groceries here in Canada and suddenly remembered my Nanay’s adobo.
So here I am, recreating it in honor of my Nanay. I love you and I miss you, wherever you are.
This is my Nanay’s and my way of cooking it.
Cooking time takes only 20-25 minutes using pork belly.
Thank you for watching!
