    My mom says the same thing don’t stir when you put the vinegar because she said the vinegar needs to cook and if you stir it before it boils the vinegar would taste way more sour. I miss Mama too. 🤍

      Yes, this is what every Filipino moms that I know's explanation. It needs to boil to evaporate the acid before you distribute (mix) it. Otherwise it will just have a strong and sour vinegar flavor

      @marylougeronimo4282 Год назад +4

      That is exactly true! There are time even if you don’t stir it and you don’t wait for the right time on boiling. It will still taste sour. Perfect adobo is when sour taste transform into sweetness. ❤️🙏 miss Mama too!

    If the vinegar is distributed it makes it harder to cook off the potency it’s just easier to cook off the sharpness of vinegar if it’s in one spot. Lowering the heat let the flavor simmer into the ribs without overcooking the meat and allow the liquid to not evaporate :)

    This is the reason for the vinegar thing, because we do this in my household too.
    (in my household, we marinade our pork/chicken in soy sauce, pepper, garlic and 3 tbs vinegar)
    There's a belief that, when you stir the adobo when vinegar is added the heat will react with the vinegar flavor in two ways.
    ¹if you stir: your adobo will have a strong, lingering acidic taste that isn't too pleasant.
    ²if you don't stir: the acidity will cook off gently, melding with the soy and ginger flavors, leaving a beautiful umami.
    I really feel like you added wayy too much vinegar Benji! 😅😅 quarter of what you added. Maximum!

    For Benji just an hypothèse from a french cooking nerd... the vinegar may dissolve and mix all in the sauce the delicious collagen from the meat (which make the sauce flavorful and goowee). If the vinegar is too much mix and heatead it may evaporate and so not do its game in the recipe. It s my supposition...
    So much respect for Mama s cooking! 🙌💜

    Hi Benjie, actually it's a Filipino open secret😊. It has been passed on from our parents and grandparents generation. Vinegar before were not yet sterilized so to kill the possible bacteria we let the vinegar sit for some time w/o mixing and have it considered as "cooked vinegar" and will not taste raw as it may also affect the overall flavor of it. This also applies not only to adobo but other pinoy cuisines that uses vinegar, but now the vinegar are already sterilized so you can actually mix it, but it became a well known tradition that we still follow originally how it's done back in the olden days😍. And btw Mama's adobo looks bomb! and I would definitely try her recipe soon💗.

    It’s actually part of cooking Filipino Adobo to never stir it after putting in the vinegar, until it boils or until you can smell the vinegar already. If you stir it, it will not cook the vinegar and will leave a “raw” taste to it like you just poured white vinegar straight to your spoon before having a bite.

  • @1madrn

    I think, why you shouldn't stir when you add the vinegar is because it helps the adobo to last long and not get spoiled immediately (besides from letting it absorb in the meat) . I do it with my chili oil, I put vinegar in it and not stir it so it will help with the shelf life . 😊

    If you use pasteurized vinegar, you can stir it in because it is shelf-stable and the taste will not change anymore. But if you buy the homemade fermented vinegar (usually you will find them on the side of the road in the provinces), that’s the type of vinegar you do not stir in for a few minutes when added to a dish while cooking.
