Adobo is a staple dish in the Philippines, known for its savory and slightly sour flavor. The dish typically consists of chicken, pork, or both, simmered in a mixture of soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, bay leaves, and black peppercorns. The meat is cooked until tender and the sauce is reduced to a flavorful, tangy glaze. Adobo is served with steamed rice and is often considered the unofficial national dish of the Philippines. Variations of adobo can also be found throughout other Southeast Asian countries, but the Filipino version is known for its unique combination of ingredients and cooking method.
