Adobo (a famous filipino dish cooked in vinegar and soy sauce) is a filipino food favorite. May the recipe be done with pork, chicken or a combination of both. It could be also good with beef. There are lots of variations in cooking adobo recipe, which I have listed below after the adobong baboy recipe.

Filipinos (Pinoy –as we call ourselves) love garlicky and tangy flavors of food dishes. That's why adobo recipe was created. Just by smelling the aroma of it, you'll surely feel hungry or even salivate.
