The Pork Adobo

I came from a family of good cooks, my maternal grandmother whom we called "Mama" can make a simple porkchop to an Aubergine steak rip off. Yes, she is that good. Her two elder daughters, my dearest aunties got her magic streak of cooking :) Yeah..except my mom haha. (sabi kasi ni mom, she don't need to cook before bec her sisters and mom are really good cooks naman) Mama used to live with us and my brother and i were happy recipients of her cooking. When she moved to the province, my papa will bring home food from the resto. Then my mom started cooking na din, and buhay pa naman kami ng kuya ko hahahahaha :) pero after 10 years, ok na cooking ni mom :)


When I was in gradeschool, my baking teacher will go to our house every saturday and we will bake cookies/cakes/pies/pizza/pasta. Papa supported my baking hobby and bought me the nicest mixers and pyrex goodies. Things got busy when I went to highschool, and my saturday baking is gone.
So, while I can save my life with baking. Cooking is an alien planet for me! I can cook a good chicken curry but Mr.Panda hates anything with curry. And since he works from home, and he loves to cook too! he is the resident cook (much to my happiness) :)   But I want my future kids to like my cooking too, ayoko yung pag ako ang magluluto tumtakbo sila sa phone to order food delivery haha :)


I researched for an easy recipe of my all time favorite Adobo and would like to share it with you guys!

2. Cook for a couple of minutes with medium fire then add 1 cup of water, 5 pc dried bay leaves ad 1 tbsp whole pepper corn. Simmer for 40mins to 1 hour.

 

3. Put in the 4 tbsp vinergar and simmer for 12-15 mins.
