Adobo Chicken with Ginger

I recently came across the word, Adobo and i thought to myself , what's this adobo? I did some reading and i was really pleased with what i found out! For those that understands Spanish , adobo means marinade or season. As for the Filipino, this word represents a type of cuisine and often refer to as a common and popular cooking process.

According to some of my friends who have tasted this dish , they claimed it to be really really good, so i thought why not give it a try and see if i like it as much as the 3 cups chicken i tried previously.

INGREDIENTS

* 1.3kg chicken (bite size)

* 1/2 cup light soy sauce

* 3/4 cup vinegar

* 1 bulb garlic

* 2 tbsp thinly sliced ginger

* 2 bay leaves

* 1/2 tbsp crushed black peppercorns

Method:

1) Marinate the chicken with some salt and pepper. Pan fry the chicken pieces, remove and place it on a kitchen towel.

2) Peel and pound the garlic slightly. Stir fry garlic and sliced ginger until fragrant.

3) Add in soy sauce, vinegar, bay leaves and peppercorns and let it simmer before adding in the pan-fried chicken.

4) Let it simmer further on a low heat until the sauce has thicken and reduced to half.

5) Dish it out and its ready to be served.

Note:

The method written has been modified. The original cooking style is to dump everythin in the Dutch oven and let it stew under low fire. Since i dont have the required kitchen tool, i decided to do it my way

It tasted good for me , but for those that would want a less tartness, you can adjust the ratio of soy sauce and vinegar to suit your liking. You can add a lil sugar to it as well.
