CRISPY ADOBO FLAKES

While traditionalists would insist on the classic traditional adobo, the modernist would stand on their heads to tweak the Filipino all-time favourite dish. The simple adobo recipe can be expressed in an infinite number of ways.

What makes a dish worthy of being called adobo? The very basic recipe would call for garlic and vinegar. Vinegar is the ingredient necessary to preserve the meat. The garlic is there for flavour. Adobo as we know it now would have soy sauce and black pepper added.

As we all love fried pork, why not make crispy flakes out of adobo and serve in a totally different way. The young and young at heart would definitely prefer these crispy flakes served on buns, wraps, taco shells or still will fried rice. Add your own toppings and have it your way.
