This recipe sounds delicious but it so weirds me out. When I think of adobo, I think of the stuff chipotles are canned in.   Also, adobo means marinade in Spanish so the soy seams like a weird ingredient. But, all that really matter is if the food tastes good and I would imagine it tastes fantastic.

i will eat that very soon Cire

America's test kitchen.  Adobo just refers to spices.  It was super sweet/sour and the pepper added a nice heat.

Really really good.

if you want to kick up the heat add a 3 tsp of black pepper would probably be ok.

again super good/cheap easy.  I had everything but the coconut milk.

[Cire]

to add to it.  It's a Filipino recipe, lots of variations but the keys were the pepper/coconut milk and garlic.

I made the adobo for real with pork chops last night. Very good. I didn't have cider vinegar, so I used white vinegar and I suspect this made it a bit too tangy/zingy. Maybe reduce to 1/2 cup if using white vinegar.  Put over whole grain wild rice which was kind of weird. The rice smelled like tea and tasted like oatmeal. Also had seared grape tomatoes on the side.

Would do again.

Heads up.  It's very expensive.  I think I remember reading that Saffron is the most expensive spice.

yeah it starts like $15 a gram on amazon. all the recipes say a pinch. how many pinches in a gram?

[Cire]

you don't need it.

[CNS]

you don't need it.

Yeah.  THis.

Most recipes that I have that include saffron include it for color.  Just leave it out. 

[Cire]

Make your own stock though.

Make your own stock though.

No matter what dish, this is correct.

[Cire]

I will use bullion cuBes if I don't have the time but never canned or boxed

[jtksu]

Meh.  It does add a definite flavor to a dish, there's a reason people have been using it in paella forever.

IIRC, it's the most expensive food on earth.
