filipinos put raisins in their fried rice. disgusting. i do like adobo though. there's many variations of it. many asian cultures eat rice w/a meat stew w/soy sauce as a base for the flavor. that's basically what adobo is. generally, adobo is supposed to have really fatty cuts of pork w/an oily broth from pork fat but i don't use that in my recipe.i make my own healthier version of it w/beef cut into cubes from a london broil cut, chicken breast pieces, and bite sized baby back pork ribs. it takes years of eating and cooking to perfect a recipe. home cooked meals that can't be found anwywhere else are my favorites. i usually don't like sharing my recipes online but if someone gets rich of it or enjoys my cooking then im a happy man.
i use lime leaf and lemon grass, onion powder, paprika, chopped fresh red thai chili peppers, pan caramelized sugar, golden mountain soy sauce, sauteed garlic , ginger and onions in olive oil, with peeled boiled eggs. i use beef and chicken broth with water as the base for the broth and then i cook it till the meat is super tender and eat it w/steamed jasmine rice and siracha. grew up cooking my own meals and i'm very good w/asian ingredients. i usually make a huge pot for everybody and i make sure i have leftovers for the next day since it will take a few hrs to make it. delicious and very good for muscle heads looking to eat a protein packed meal.
