At least once a week, we all allot time to basically do anything other than work. Some love Fridays since they can party with friends - but I've already graduated from that. Others keep their Saturdays clear to go malling. I particularly love Sundays because everyone's at home and it's the perfect day to bond over a home-cooked meal.
Today I decided to cook the classic chicken Adobo for Kim and her family. It's one of the easiest recipes I've done so far, so anyone can do it!
Ingredients:
- Cooking Oil
- Garlic (one bulb)
- Onion (medium)
- Ginger (around the size of your pinky)
- Black Pepper (1/2 teaspoon)
- Salt (pinch)
- Soy Sauce (3/4 cup)
- Vinegar (1/4 cup)
- Sugar (1 tbsp)
- Pineapple Juice (1 cup)
- Chicken Legs (1/2 kg)
- Bay Leaves (2-3 pieces)
Procedure:
- Pour two cups of water with the chicken legs in a bowl. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil. This will take 5-10 minutes.
- In a separate pan, heat about 3 spoonfuls of cooking oil (low heat). Cook the garlic cloves until brown first then add the diced onions and ginger strips. As soon as the onions are transparent, transfer the chicken legs to the pan. Cook until the chicken turns slightly brown.
- Add the soy sauce, vinegar, pineapple juice, sugar, whole black peppers, and bay leaves to the pan and let it come to a boil. Lower the heat then let it simmer for 10 more minutes (just to make sure the sauce tastes).
- Transfer to a bowl and you have a meal!
