Chicken Adobo sa Puti with Tanglad

Di lahat ng tao may toyo… ganon din sa adobo. Char! This is another adobo dish that’s not a regular on the meal rotation because lemongrass or tanglad is not readily available at home. Unlike when you crave for regular adobo — soy sauce, vinegar, bay leaf, and peppercorns are all pantry staples.

I just thought it would be nice to introduce this adobo to Twinkle who’s welcoming new dishes to her tastebuds at this time. She’s not a picky eater anymore and has become a lot more adventurous when it comes to food. She now eats whatever is on the table whether it’s meat or vegetables.

Chicken Adobo sa Puti with Lemongrass, even though pale, is bursting with a lot of citrusy flavor coming from the lemongrass. I add a bit of sugar because I like it to be a little sweet. You may choose not to add it or to use alternative sweetener if you can’t eat sugar.
