Tired of cooking the usual adobo? Why not try the Adobo sa Dilaw? Yes, dilaw. Your adobo will be yellow rather than the usual black or brown.

Adobo sa Dilaw ala Chemist Dad

I’ve been hearing this dish for a long time. I think this has been also featured in one of Korean Adaptation Teleseryes here – Only You, if not mistaken.

I also watched this featured in one of the out of town episode of Idol sa Kusina but I forgot to take down notes so I made this with my own version.

ADOBO SA DILAW

You will need:

500 grams chicken

1 stalk lemon grass

¼ cup patis
2 tbsp vinegar

2 tbsp ground black pepper

2-3 pcs bay leaf

Thumb-sized luyang dilaw or turmeric, minced

2-3 gloves garlic, minced

1 pouch Del monte Pineapple tidbits

Oil for sautéing

Here’s how to do it:

In a pot, place chicken, bayleaf, and lemon grass. Bring to boil until chicken is tender or until water almost dried up. Remove the lemon grass and set aside.

In a wok, sauté garlic and luyang dilaw. Add boiled chicken (together with the bayleaf), patis, vinegar and Pineapple tidbits together with the syrup. Add 1 cup of water and simmer until sauce thickens.

Serve with steamed rice.
