SQUID ADOBO🦑

Today's Brunch🤤
*Adobong Pusit is yet another Filipino Adobo that is well-loved. You may say that this is the seafood version as it uses squid (pusit) and is quite unique because squid ink is also used as the coloring agent instead of soy sauce and it enhances the flavor of the sea and imparts extra umami flavors.

•It is an adobo variation that uses squid and incorporates its ink into the savory adobo sauce.

•The Philippine version uses only vinegar as its main flavoring agent and tenderizer, with other ingredients common to the locale. Some regions add coconut milk or turmeric instead of the typical soy sauce. Bay leaves, peppercorn, garlic, and fish sauce are other common ingredients for cooking adobo. The most known Filipino Adobo is where pork or chicken (or a mix of both) are used. But we do have many other variants that you should try.

*SQUIDS
-I sliced the squids
•I prefer using small to medium squids as they cook quite quickly and are more tender. However, feel free to use bigger ones if that is what you have.
•Freshness is key. When buying squid, make sure to choose the one that looks shiny and smooth. Its skin should also be slightly transparent, meaning they are still fresh.

•Make sure not to overcook your squid. An overcooked squid will have a rubbery texture and might be too chewy.

-DO NOT stir once the vinegar has been added. Just let it simmer and cook undisturbed. If you mix it prematurely, you will get that raw, acidic vinegar taste which is highly unappetizing.

•If you're a fan of spicy food, then you can add chopped green chilis on top of your steaming Adobong Pusit for an extra kick.

•The great thing about Adobo is that they are made to last a long time and taste even better after a day or two! But since this recipe contains tomatoes, you must ensure that you refrigerate it as soon as possible. It should last up to 5 to 7 days and reheats quite well.
