I discovered this stuff several years ago and use it for cheap beef cuts all the time. My husband LOVES it. The vinegar and relatively long cooking time will tenderize anything and it’s cheap!!!! The vinegar doesn’t so much make the house stink as– smell like vinegar, but I happen to kind of like that.

I was so happy to find this here! I no longer live in an area where Filipino is available, and hadn’t come across anything on the web when I moved. I’d given up then, but I stumbled across your site today looking for something else entirely and found it! Thank you!

Thanks for this recipe – it seems to be really sturdy and versatile. I made it with turkey breast (sorry, can’t stand dark meat and turkey breast was on sale), included ginger and some chili sauce and added carrots and cabbage while cooking. It was great! Was asked if it were a russian dish (the cabbage and vinegar, I guess). Not quite as cheap as I’d hoped (because of the veggies) but very good and I’ll definitely make it again (with whatever ingredients cross my mind next time, probably).

I tried using balsamic vinegar too, but it came out pretty good. I guess you just have to adjust the proportions? I’m from the Philippines and there are lots and lots of versions of adobo. I kind of reduce the vinegar in mine and add more soy sauce and loads of garlic, I like it better that way. Potatoes and hard boiled eggs ftw! =) Try making it with apple cider vinegar and pork, the cider gives it a more refreshing flavor and goes really well with pork.

i was actually really surprised to find this here–chicken adobo was a staple in our house when i was a kid, but i don’t know ANYONE ELSE who has even heard of it!

i haven’t eaten it in years. i tried making it about 8 years ago, but i used balsamic vinegar and it was nasty. i haven’t tried again since, but your post is definitely making me want to…thanks for the trip down memory lane.

Oh my god… just tried cooking this tonight and it’s amazing! Delicious!

I added a little ginger and a packet of sazón for color and flavor, and it was just insanely delicious, especially over rice. Thank you!
