I have tried your adodo recipe and it was so good. My children and I love this recipe more than my original recipe. Bu since we are not into spicy food, I skipped the red pepper.
Thanks for sharing. I gain more confidence in my cooking through your recipe.

Pam says
i make adobo myself, but i never thought about putting the red chilis in it or garnishing w green onion. this one looks so good, and it looks like less soy sauce than i use, which is good for me since i can't have too much.

Is there a Pinoy who ever grew tired of adobo? Zilch! Love it.
