Filipino Adobo — Hawaiian Adaptation

Filipino-Hawaiian

Overview

Filipino adobo (already PH-2 on the trail) in its Hawaiian adaptation: Filipino plantation workers brought adobo and it became a Hawaiian home-cooking staple. Hawaiian-Filipino adobo is often slightly sweeter and may include soy sauce (shoyu) in place of or alongside vinegar — reflecting the Hawaiian palateʻs sweet-soy preference. Adobo appears on Hawaiian plate lunch menus and at every Filipino-Hawaiian gathering.

Key Principles

1. Chicken thighs braised in soy-vinegar-garlic until the sauce reduces to a glaze. Hawaiian version: slightly sweeter.
