Cook Adobo and save money

Lots of people now wants to save money but sometimes it seems so hard specially here in the US where everything seem so expensive that is why I made up this blog and see if I could pull Filipino people to contribute their idea on how to save money and still enjoy everyday life. Not only Filipino would benefit from the shared idea basically it will be applicable to anybody.

So I'll start this blog rolling with the famous recipe of the Adobo. Why Adobo? It's simple to cook, has a long storage life and the ingredients are not expensive. Since Adobe is full of flavor it is always serve with white rice but white bread will also do as a substitute.
The money saving part is when you cook extra serving and take advantage of the storage life so you would cook once and have a supply that would last for couple of weeks in the fridge or the freezer and the best thing about it is taste even better after storage.

Adobo Ingredients:
1/2 kilo pork cut in cubes + 1/2 kilo chicken, cut into pieces or
1 head garlic, minced
1/2 yellow onion, diced
1/2 cup soy sauce
1 cup vinegar
1 cup of water
3 laurel leaves (bay leaves)
4 tablespoons of cooking oil of your choice
1 table spoon whole corn pepper
Optional:
4 Boiled eggs

Sauté the minced garlic and onions on a sauce pan with 2 tablespoon of cooking oil.

Add the pork and chicken to the pan.
Add 1 cup of water, 1/2 cup of soy sauce, 1 cup of vinegar 1 table spoon pepper and laurel.
Cover and bring to a boil, simmer for until meat is tender (20 min to 30 min).

Remove the pork and chicken from the sauce pan and fry with 2 table spoon of cooking oil for about 5 minutes then put it back to the sauce pan. Bring to a boil then simmer for an additional 5 minutes. Add the un-shell the boiled eggs and add them.

Serve hot with white rice.
