Adobong Baboy sa Asin | FOODIPINO™

Thank you for reading and I’m glad that I got you interested.

I actually don’t know how to call this dish as I was afraid that the word “adobo” had become hackneyed and trite specially among Filipinos and that there seem to be no new adobo recipe that could catch anyone else’s attention these days ( :-( sniff sniff)

Yes, adobo is one of those Filipino dishes that has become ubiquitous not only in the Philippines, but worldwide. And where there is Filipino, there surely be adobo.

I first tasted this adobo dish when our friend brought back a container of adobong baboy sa asin from his home town somewhere in Catanduanes. It was an oily, fatty, yet very tasty adobo. I learned that this type of adobo is cooked without soy, instead, salt is used to provide the needed saltiness. Armed with my basic knowledge of how to cook adobo and the new recipe I’ve learned, I experimented on another kind of adobo without using soy sauce. And so I tried cooking adobong baboy sa asin.

My husband actually doubted the idea of cooking adobo with just asin. We had a long “discussion” about it. Something like, “it’s not adobo because there is no soy sauce” kind of discussion. You know people who has a certain preconceived notion of what a certain dish tastes, looks like, and what ingredients must be used, etc., they will stick to that notion and fight for it :-) He just stopped arguing with me when he tasted my adobong baboy sa asin, and then, he can’t stop eating it until it’s all gone, finished, nasimot! My husband loves it :-) I’m sure you’d love it too.

Here’s my simple recipe for your enjoyment :-)

CAUTION: this dish is high in calories from fat, very high in fat specially on saturated fat, and high in sodium. There, I warned you already.
