History

This is a dish that has existed since ancient times.
Created by the Malays who landed in the Philippines to preserve food in the tropics.
Vinegar and salt created an undesirable environment for bacterial outbreaks.
After Chinese merchants brought soy sauce, they replaced salt with soy sauce.
The Philippines traded with Fujian Province of China from 960 to 1279, so I think soy sauce was brought in around this time.
※There is another theory.

Hispanic Adobo

Adobo is also common in Hispanic countries, but probably has nothing to do with the Philippine version.
The name of the Philippine Adobo is Spanish, because when it landed in the Philippines in the 16th century, it looked like Adobo in Spain and was called “Indigenous Adobo”.
The appearance is similar, but the recipes and ingredients are different.
The Hispanic version cooks and fries ingredients, and also uses paprika etc.
The Philippine version stews ingredients and does not use paprika etc.

Others

This is basically a dish to eat with rice.
That’s why I ate in rice bowl style.
Delicious.
Before eating this, I imagined sushi because it was a combination of vinegar and soy sauce.
It has a completely different taste from sushi, but it is especially recommended for those who like soy sauce.

★I’ve written “laurel leaves” in some recipes. I think the name is different in different countries. In some countries it means “bay leaves”.
