How to cook Filipino chicken adobo?


Sauté two lbs. of chicken for about five minutes in a little olive oil stirring constantly. Add in 6 cloves of roughly chopped garlic and stir. Add in 3/4 c low-sodium soy sauce, a few whole peppercorns, a teaspoon of ground black pepper, a couple of dried bay leaves, and 1/4 cup of water. Bring to a boil, stir, and let simmer for an additional ten minutes. Add in 1/2 tablespoon of brown sugar and 2 tablespoon of vinegar - do not stir. You can add in half a teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes. Let it simmer for another 5 minutes and stir. If it's getting a bit dry, add a tablespoon more of soysauce and a tablespoon of water. Simmer until the chicken is cooked through. Enjoy over warm rice.
