Authentic Filipino Chicken Adobo

Fri, 05 Sep 2003 20:01:03 -0400

My father was stationed in the Phillipines for a few years when I was young. My mom hated the heat. In fact, this recipe was one of the few things she actually loved about the place! Our 'house-girl' taught us the joy of chicken adobo, and we taught her the joy of pancakes. VEGETARIAN'S NOTE: I now substitute tofu for the chicken, cutting the tofu into chunks and letting it soak in the liquid ingredients (other than water) and with the garlic and onion for some time before I start cooking so it absorbs the flavor a little more like chicken. Still an absolute favorite for my family! -- posted by Seebee

Authentic Spicy Chicken Curry

Mon, 08 Dec 2003 20:02:00 -0500

This recipe is an innovation of the popular Filipino chicken curry. I have made it a bit spicier by adding Indian curry paste which has special tamarind, coriander, garlic powder and oils, something I discovered in an Oriental store in Europe. the recipe as is, is only a bit spicy but not burning hot spicy. You can increase chili as desired. Anyone who loves spicy HAS TO LIKE THIS ! I have prepared this dish countless times to special guests and diplomats and all of them asked for the recipe. TESTED AND PROVEN Asian culinary delight. this recipe is a Modified Version of the Maya Kitchen "Filipino Cookbook" Chicken Curry Recipe -- posted by Polar Bear

Chinese Twice Cooked Whole Fish (Or Fillets)

Sat, 17 Apr 2004 20:00:14 -0400

Ginger, garlic, and pungent seasonings are "seared" into cooked fish with hot oil. Traditionally, peanut oil is used but my husband found that the olive oil/butter combination is the most flavorful. He prefers using "bony fish" like largemouth bass or rockfish, but it also goes well with seabass fillets. -- posted by Picholine

We love these noodles! I also added some julienned snow peas, which I added at the same time as the carrots and zucchini.

Cutting vegetables in julienne style is a Western technique. Recipe from Bon Appétit. -- posted by spatchcock

Pork (Chicken) Adobo

Sun, 03 Sep 2006 20:58:13 -0400

This comes from The Househusbands recipe box and he is graciously allowing me to post it. I have had experience using his recipe, but I far prefer his results over mine. The picture shows this recipe using stir-fry cut pork, which is how we ate it a couple of nights ago. It works equally well with cut up chicken thighs. We usually use boneless, skinless thighs, but it works with the skin and bone just as easily. One other thingThe Househusband hates it this way, but I make him butter my rice before he puts the meat and gravy on it because I think it cuts the tang of the vinegar just a bit. We learned this recipe from an old Filipino friend down in Los Angeles whose father cooked at the Filipino center there. Adobo is like spaghetti in that everybody has a different take on how to make it. Some recipes omit the onion. Some add bay leaves during the cooking process. I find it tedious to pull them out of the mix even with them held in a bouquet garni bag and they dont seem to add much flavor. Two more points: If you store this in the fridge overnight, the flavor is intensified with the juices having more time to permeate the meat. We have on occasion made this in a large batch for potlucks and always come home with empty dishes. -- posted by bartzturkeymom

Chicken Adobo

Wed, 04 Oct 2006 15:39:07 -0400

While the recipe is as varied as the 7,101 islands of the archipelago, Adobo is no doubt the national dish of the Philippines. Here's my version, it's very simple yet it's one of the most requested. Let me know what you think. Note: You can substitute Sprite with regular brown sugar if you wish, use about a teaspoon. -- posted by Pinaygourmet #345142

Filipino Beef Stew (Sinigang Na Carne)

Wed, 04 Oct 2006 20:30:00 -0400

Sinigang is a famous Filipino dish, typically sour, that can be made with chicken, beef, pork, shrimp or fish. Usually prepared with tamarind or less commonly with guava or mango. This one is a mix of beef & pork and gets it's sourness from lemon juice, making it quite different from most other sinigang recipes I've seen. -- posted by littleturtle

Chicken Adobo in Coconut Milk

Sat, 18 Nov 2006 23:32:56 -0500

This is another recipe from "The Philippine Cookbook". I made this recently for my husbands Filipino birthday dinner. I used cubed boneless skinless chicken breasts. I just cooked it in the pot until the sauce was reduced. I didn't bother with the broiler. I also used white vinegar as I don't care for apple cider vinegar. It was great! I might try it in the crockpot next time. -- posted by Engrossed

Filipino Menudo

Sat, 02 Dec 2006 13:31:09 -0500

Comfort food Filipino style! This is one of my husband's favourite Filipino dishes. I make this in big batches because it freezes well, and it tastes better the longer you keep it. It can stay for up to 2 weeks in the freezer. This can also be cooked in a slow cooker like the usual slow cooker stew. -- posted by Pinaygourmet #345142

Picadillo Soup (Abalos Style)

Sat, 02 Dec 2006 13:53:50 -0500

The Filipino version of picadillo distinctly takes advantage of the broth (sabaw) to serve over rice. This aromatic soup is made with ground beef, onions, tomatoes, potatoes, mixed vegetables, and lots of garlic. Serve alone or generously over rice. -- posted by ringonian

Vermicelli (Sotanghon) With Chicken and Wood Ear Mushrooms

Sun, 31 Dec 2006 12:21:34 -0500

Most cooks soak the sotanghon noodles in cold water prior to cooking, I prefer to add the dry noodles to the pan and make them absorb as much chicken stock as they can. This way, the cooked dish is more flavorful. You can also add prawns and crab legs for a more flavourful version of this recipe as thinly sliced green beans and cabbage or broccoli. -- posted by Pinaygourmet #345142

Arroz a La Cubana

Sun, 31 Dec 2006 12:23:19 -0500

We do not know whether or not this dish is originally from Cuba. We can only assume that this dish was introduced to the Philippines by the Spaniards. Arroz means rice. Arroz a la Cubana is basically a stew using ground beef instead of chunks, and served with fried egg (sunny side up!), slices of fried saba bananas and steamed or boiled rice. Saba banana has thick yellow-brownish skin and is never eaten raw. It can be boiled or steamed in its skin, peeling it just before eating. This humble banana can be transformed to a numberof simple yet amazing and nutritious desserts. For your convenience, use plantain similar to one used in Carribean cuisine. Serve with plain boiled rice. -- posted by Pinaygourmet #345142

Arroz Caldo

Tue, 02 Jan 2007 16:30:50 -0500

Despite its Spanish name, this dish is the Filipino version of the Chinese congee or porridge. It is slow cooked to perfection and it is especially good on cold winter night and gloomy days. Kasubha is the stamen of a local plant which imparts a slightly reddish or orangy tint to the arroz caldo. For convenience, it can easily be substituted with the more expensive saffron threads. The liver and the gizzard are optional. -- posted by Pinaygourmet #345142

Filipino Tinola

Tue, 23 Jan 2007 16:47:14 -0500

I can't believe there's no recipe for Tinola on this site. it's a staple of Filipino cuisine, and it's basically a ginger chicken stewish soup. I've modified my mom's recipe to include only chicken breasts, as the original includes all sorts of chicken parts that I don't eat. As Filipino recipes are meant to be taste-tested at every step and tweaked to one's liking, these should only be general guidelines to help you perfect your own Tinola recipe. -- posted by enigmused

Chicken Adobo in Coconut Milk (Adobong Manok Sa Gata)

Sat, 10 Feb 2007 00:12:15 -0500

The best Filipino dishes are the ones that do not have a written recipe other than the knowledge passed on from generation to another. This is one is a great example and it is one of my all time favourite comfort food. Back in the Philippines, when I was still in university, I would always ask my Mom to make this for me every time I come home and visit during the holiday break. This recipe brings back a lot of happy memories and has been a great source of comfort whenever I feel homesick. I have adapted this recipe, again due to the lack of original ingredients. It calls for free-range chicken which has a lot more flavour to it and it can also stand the long cooking time required for this recipe. Use the pepper of your choice. (We used labuyo, or bird's eye chili originally, but I think jalapeno, serano or habanero are good candidates for substitute). -- posted by Pinaygourmet #345142

Mon, 26 Mar 2007 21:24:58 -0400

Laing is the quintessential Bicolano dish, fiery hot and absolutely delicious though it can an acquired taste to the Western palate. This is one of my favourite Filipino comfort food. My Dad makes the most awesome version I should say. I am modifying it to suit the availability of ingredients. Be sure to use thick coconut milk, the light version will not work at all. Cooking time is about an hour and a half. -- posted by Pinaygourmet #345142

Easy Filipino Pork or Chicken Adobo

Thu, 12 Jul 2007 11:20:40 -0400

One of the most popular dishes of the Philippines!!! I'm half Filipino...this is the method both my parents used to cook this yummy meal. I like to add potatoes to the Pork style only. Also note: This is as close to the measurements that I could guesstimate. When I was taught to cook this dish, my parents would just dump in the ingredients. I've done the same since and learned to perfect it on my own. I chose to use some of the ingredients I listed because my belief in traditional diets. Lard, coconut oil and bones (for marrow) give the dish the most authentic flavor you can find. When my grandmother would cook with bones, she'd break them to release as much marrow as possible. I hope you're willing to try it and enjoy it! My family and In-laws can't get enough of it!!! -- posted by Kat Lantto

This traditional recipe is a part of the Christmas and New Year food tradition in the Philippines. Many traditional Filipino holiday foods have a strong Spanish influence.

Filipino Style Spaghetti

Tue, 06 Jan 2009 23:23:23 -0500

A much sweeter version of spaghetti. This is how I like to make mine. Sometimes I add sliced mushrooms and bell peppers, too. Note: In response to a question about the recipe; Filipino food does tend to be on the heavier side, but in an attempt to lighten this dish, you can omit the sugar, or use a sugar substitute, but the banana ketchup is necessary to sweeten the sauce. You can also use ground turkey instead of ground beef, for less fat. -- posted by cali_love

This recipe was given to me by a dear friend, Rashida, but, being a picky eater, I revised the recipe a little. The original called for the chicken to be served in whole pieces with the sauce over rice. I have to admit that it's appearance didn't appeal to me, even though the taste was wonderful. I like to take the chicken, shred it, strain the sauce and thicken it, then add back together and serve over rice. It's really versatile, you can use a whole chicken, cut up, or all thighs if you choose. It's so good...even better rewarmed the next day! -- posted by Chrisbee

Pinakbet (Filipino Meat Veggie Stew With Shrimp Paste)

Fri, 23 Jan 2009 17:29:28 -0500

A popular Ilocano dish from the Northern regions of the Philippines. You can omit the bittermelon if you're not a fan, as it is an acquired taste. Authentic pinakbet includes bittermelon in the recipe. If you can't find the salted shrimp paste at your local Safeway, try your friendly local Asian supermarkets. You can also make this a vegetarian dish by omitting the pork. -- posted by cali_love

Cebu-Style Roast Chicken

Wed, 29 Apr 2009 11:56:03 -0400

This recipe was born out of homesickness during my first year in Germany. We were lucky enough to have an Asian store close by for the lemon grass. Its best to use the regular/young chicken. I tried using hen, but turned out rubbery and it didn't smell too good either. Sea salt really brings out the flavor while the lemon grass adds to the "kick" factor of the dish. If you have a coal-burning oven, then you will have a more flavorful effect. Now, its been my family's favorite and I prepare it during gatherings. Enjoy! -- posted by Anne Co

Filipino Chocolate Meat (Dinuguan)

Tue, 16 Jun 2009 01:22:01 -0400

This may sound bizarre or even disgusting to some people since it uses edible pork blood [found in most international grocery store's freezer aisle], but many cultures use blood as an ingredient (ie: European blood sausage, British black pudding) so don't knock it before you try it! =] I found this recipe online and posted it here for safekeeping and because this website hardly has any Filipino recipes. It's called "chocolate meat" because of the way the cooked pork blood resembles a chocolate sauce. It was also a good way to get your younger kids to try it out! It worked on me... haha! -- posted by cali_love

I don't recall my Mama ever making such a thing, and I definitely can't vouch for how authentic this recipe is, but it does speak to my Filipina tastebuds and will be made in my kitchen soon! :) From the food blog Coffee and Vanilla, very slightly adapted to reflect personal preference. -- posted by Sweet Jezebel
