Introduction

Adobo is a style of preparation, which in Philippine cuisine - is stewing in vinegar and soy sauce. This is an excellent Vegetarian dish. There are many Adobo recipes and you can use meat. This is my own style of cooking this Adobo but you can find other Adobo recipes using the website in my intro to my cookbook. Go check them out. You will be pleasently surprised. In the recipe below I prefer using the Phillipine Palm Vinegar or Paombong as it's referred or regular White Vinegar but you can use any Vinegar you like.

Try using this recipe with whole, hardboiled eggs. Follow the recipe as for the potatoes. When the potatoes are almost done, add the whole, peeled, hardboiled eggs, with a few cut marks (not deep) into the egg white to let the flavor penetrate the egg more easily. This particular dish (adobong itlog or egg adobo) really tastes well the next day. Any Adobo dish tastes even better when you let it sit for a day or two.
