Good stuff, Adobo seasoning.

[mod34]

We like it on our popcorn! Not the microwave stuff mind you, good old fashioned on the stove top pop corn!

But no patis?

Ah, Olongapo...and the sweet smell of the (banned) River!

Been there, done that.

My understanding is that the Goya "boycott" has backlashed, and it's now the freight train "buy-cott." Bravo!

If a U.S. company makes good stuff, why not support them?

I have expanded my knowledge base. My only experience with Adobo
was the vinegar, garlic, pepper, plus some other stuff that they cook
chicken with in the Philippines. Haven't had any since the early 70's.
I liked it.

We never tried Goya products. Today at the supermarket we bought some of their beans and some rice.

I probably have a half dozen of their different seasonings at home...good stuff! I really enjoy spice too and it's no big deal EXCEPT for hot chili oil. If you get the stuff that has 'cured' for lack of a better word, it is about the only hot sauce/spice that will knock me out. Love it in Pho. Fun one for snacking too is siracha and mayo with fries or something. Cooking/grilling is my happy place.

Honey sriracha sauce is pretty good, too. The sweet does a pretty good job of balancing the hot. Still makes my nose run, though.

At that time the Coast Guard wore the same uniforms as the Navy with the exception of the flat hat and the shield on the right sleeve.

The Coast Guard hadn't approved going on liberty in civilian clothes. So, we wore dress whites on liberty in Olongapo...

Everyone should have this in their spice stash.

Try their Mojo marinade also.

Yes, and OMG Yes...

I mojo'ed a Thanksgiving Turkey once. It's easy to do yourself, to your taste. Just mix-up grapefruit and orange juices, and add-in salt, pepper, minced onion and crushed garlic.

The first time I ate adobo was in Olongapol, Phillipines, 1971. It was one of the tamest things I ate there, balut anyone?

Great Pinoy adobo is a different breed of cat, for sure. Every bit as delicious. I escaped my trip to the Phils w/o enduring balut OR Durian, LOL.

Well I finally found Adobo in a market and based on a past recommendation from a member here I bought a jar. Sorry but I'm not impressed.

First off it isn't salt but rather a powder which makes it a little less potent. I tried it on eggs and even a ribeye. Couldn't taste it over what little salt and pepper I usually use. I like the taste (wet finger in jar) but I don't think it's a standalone seasoning. It shouldn't take a tablespoon of Adobo to season an egg. It's just too bland for my tastebuds.

I guess I'll stick with Tony Chachere's and garlic salt as my goto seasonings.

Durian is slightly less disgusting, but not much.

I just bought a bottle of Adobo seasoning and a couple other Goya products tonight to try out.

Had to look up balut....kinda wish I hadn't!

Ruins your whole day, doesn't it.

 

[THE PILGRIM]

Navy Dude told that they stopped the Big Boat at Subic Bay on the way to Tonkin.
If it was your first go-round, you were required to down a Balut.
He said he was trying to get his down, but it was coming up faster than it was going down!
While there, I did drink some of the local bottled Ditch Water.
They call it San Miguel.

Same here thanks to the OP..... gonna try some adobo rubbed ribs smoked with nectarine wood.

 

[DeathGrip]

Badia is another family owned business. They are based in Miami and are good quality. I'd like to see them invited to the white house too.

 

[Golddollar]

I just tried the Adobo spice with pepper on pizza. Wow, it really adds some zing. The primary flavors of salt, garlic and pepper really come to the fore.

Arroz Con Pollo

Ingredients

• Boneless/Skinless Chicken Pieces (white & dark meat)
• 1/2 Onion (diced)
• 2 Green Bell Peppers (diced)
• 2 Cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 Lemon (juiced)
• 1 Can Diced Tomatoes
• 1 Can Black Beans (drained & rinsed)
• 2 Cups Long-Grain White Rice
• 3 Cups Chicken Stock
• 2 Teaspoons Paprika
• 2 Teaspoons Oregano
• 1 Pinch Saffron (important)
• Salt & Pepper to taste

Directions

In a large Dutch oven, add some olive oil, brown and mostly cook chicken, then remove. Add more olive oil if necessary, sauté the garlic, peppers and onions for a few minutes, then add the rice to brown a minute or two, stirring often. Add chicken stock, diced tomatoes, lemon juice and spices, stir until boiling. Replace chicken (with any juices), reduce heat and cover. Low simmer for 25 minutes and serve.

Notes: It is important to use rice that calls on the package for 2 cups rice to 3 cups water. Some rice calls for more water and it ends up undercooked. I prefer to season a bit with Goya Adobo All Purpose Seasoning while cooking the chicken. Do not omit the saffron! It is worth the money.
