Adobo Spicy Sauce

Adobo is a popular dish in Filipino cuisine that can consist of meat, seafood or marinated vegetables with vinegar, soy sauce and garlic. This dish is also unofficially seen as the national dish of the Philippines. The name Adobo is taken from Spanish, but the preparation method is completely Filipino. The use of vinegar in Filipino dishes dates back to the past and was mainly done to extend the shelf life of the dishes. This was at the time when the Adobo was mainly made with pork and chicken. The soy sauce was later added to the original recipe due to the influence of the Chinese traders who ensured that the salt was replaced with it. This dish was traditionally cooked in small clay pots known as the Palayok. The ingredients of traditional Adobo may vary by region, as each region has its own variation on the original recipe.
