My HOME and KITCHEN

This dish is so popular with Americans..When I say that I am Filipina, they would ask.." Do you know how to cook pansit and adobo?" And I will say, " Yes, I do." then they will go " I love Lumpia, what about that? do you know how to make Lumpia?"

I guess, we, Filipinas are known to be a "KITCHEN SLAVES" hehehe. I love to cook though, that’s my favorite thing to do. No wonder I have all these unwanted fat, same as my husband. Too bad, my 3 little kids can’t benefit from my Filipino Style cooking. Dan eats everything I cook, except for" Pakbet" and "Inabraw na Okra "with tamarind soup. Here’s my version of Adobo.

Note: Picture to follow…

Ingredients:

2 lbs. pork/chicken

1/2 cup dark soy sauce

1/2 medium sized onion, sliced

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 tbsp. cooking oil

1/4 cup vinegar

1/2 tsp. pepper

3 pcs. bay leaves

3 medium sized potatoes
