Cooking Tips
- To prevent the meat from burning, make sure to cook the adobo under only medium heat.
- Boiled eggs are optional. Since the adobo sauce enhances the flavor of the boiled eggs, particularly when they are dipped in the sauce, you might wish to include them.
- Brown sugar is an additional option. To achieve the savory flavor of adobo, add brown sugar and/or another cup of water if your adobo is too salty.
- If the meat is ever not quite done but has already dried out, add water and season to prevent blandness.
