Instruktioner

Place the chicken, garlic, soy sauce, white vinegar, bay leaves, brown sugar and pepper in a bowl. If time permits, allow the chicken to marinate for 30 minutes (or up to 24 hours). Marinating is NOT essential but does tenderise the chicken and creates more depth of flavour. I regularly make this recipe and cook it immediately and it’s equally delicious!

Heat the olive oil in a large heavy-based frying pan over medium–high heat and add the chicken, reserving the marinade. Cook the chicken for 2–4 minutes until it starts to brown, turning once halfway through.

Add the remaining marinade and 1 cup (250 ml) of water. Cook for 8–12 minutes, occasionally stirring, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened and caramelised. If the sauce hasn’t thickened, it means the pan wasn’t hot enough, so continue cooking over high heat until the sauce reduces.

To make the sesame ginger cucumbers, combine the ingredients in a small bowl.

Serve the chicken adobo with steamed rice and the cucumbers. Top with coriander and fresh chilli, if desired.
