Adobo is arguably the national dish of the Philippines. I always thought it was a Spanish-based dish...'adobo' is also a term used for Mexican and Carribean dishes (yay colonialization!). But apparently it might be Malay in origin.
Basic adobo recipe consists of the basic ingredients: meat, soy sauce, pepper, garlic, vinegar and bay leaves.
There are variations and touches each person puts to the dish, coconut milk, braising the meat before adding it to the sauce, etc.
...I'm sleepy...the adobo is getting to me...
