The unofficial national dish of the Philippines, adobo is a vinegary, garlicky, addictive dish that's worth celebrating every day.
"My mother spent my childhood trying to re-create the recipe for her lola’s adobo. She experimented with chicken breast and thigh, seemingly every type of vinegar, different ratios of soy sauce to peppercorns, but it wasn’t until 2018 that she felt she’d finally done it," she says.
"For years, the email with the recipe has sat in my Gmail folder, and I search for it every time I’m craving my favorite flavor combo — addictive saltiness, red wine vinegar cutting through and a pop of succulent and aromatic peppercorn. The sauce becomes slightly viscous as you simmer it so it clings to the chicken but still flows over the rice, getting absorbed by every grain.
"My own twist? A runny fried egg because the adobo’s tartness begs for it, in my opinion. 'You like adobo?' is the subject line of that email, an inside family joke from when two Filipino strangers asked my brother that very question upon finding out his mother’s ethnicity. Of course, I do, and everyone else should, too."
