FILIPINO CHICKEN ADOBO (ADOBONG MANOK)

Steps:

• Bring to a boil the first 6 ingredients. Simmer for about 50 minutes until the chicken is tender and sauce is reduced by half. I simmered with the lid on for about 35 minutes and took the lid off the last 15 to let the sauce reduce.
• Add salt to taste. Serve hot with rice.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a deep glass or stainless steel sauce pan.
• Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat to medium low.
• Cover and simmer for about 30 minutes or until the meat is very tender.
• Gently turn the meat occasionally during the course of cooking.
• Remove the meat from the sauce and pan-fry in a little oil until browned on all sides.

• While the recipe says to saute the meat after it's cooked, I usually brown the meat before adding the remainder of the incredients. I have no idea what difference this makes, if any.
• I adapted this from a recipe in Philippine Recipes Made Easy, by Violeta A. Noriega.

Steps:

• 1. In medium heat and pot, sautee chicken, ginger, and garlic in oil. Lower the heat and cover the pot and simmer for 5 minutes or until the chicken juice out. Do not add water unless it gets a little dry. You may use about 1/2 cup of chicken broth instead.
• 2. Add the rest of the ingredients, cover the pot and simmer for 10 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked.
