    I'm a Filipino cook. You don't put cilantro, parsley, or coriander on your adobo because they have a pungent flavor and aroma, even as a garnish. It's because it will affect the flavor or the taste profile and character of an authentic Filipino adobo. If you put some, it will have a taste profile close to Mediterranean cuisine. You may put spring onion or leaks. That would be all right because it will complement the flavor because it's also from onion.

      @@VforVengeance159 I don't care if you use onion or not. What I suggested was if others want to put some herbs for topping, they should use spring onion rather than using any kind of herb in the parsley family because it won't compliment the taste of the adobo. By the way, that's what you call gourmet cooking. Did you understand that? Period!

Italian basil is not Thai Basil, they have completely different tastes; parsley and cilantro are not the same thing. You can’t replace one with the other without compromising cultural integrity. 😅

      Deglazing the fond is a valid cooking technique though. Those caramelized bits at the bottom are not "burnt" (as long as it is not blackened yet). It is somehow similar when we deglaze with patis (fish sauce) when sauteing. I sometimes do that technique if I'm making pinatuyong adobo to get more caramelized and savory notes (as long as you only add a little amount of liquid so it doesn't become watery). Idk though why Uncle Roger reacted that way to deglazing as it is a very common cooking technique. Maybe for comedic effect?

    I've been dreading the day that uncle roger would make a video about filipino adobo because adobo doesn't have a standard recipe (dumb government even tried to make an issue about this lol)
    Different regions in the Philippines have their own recipes. Some make it sweet and may add pineapple while others use chilies/onion for that extra kick and may make the sauce thick by crushing chicken liver (or using liver spread like in our recipe) and adding coconut milk. There's even adobong puti (white adobo) which is basically substituting soy sauce with fish sauce or purely salt.
    While I do understand this is mainly a comedic take. There's are sure points made by uncle roger here:
    1. A little amount of garlic, adobo is a garlic marinated recipe. That looked like a clove and a half. Plus that amount of onion. He might as well have added dried banana blossoms coz he's basically making a similar recipe to adobo which is "paksiw" for pork hock
    2. The sauce is watery, it's obvious that it wasn't simmered that long nor used more marinate to make the sauce at least glazy or thick. They really stands up with the stereotype that white people make bland food.
    3. The parsley and lemon was just ridiculous, there are a lot of garnishes that you can put on adobo. Like onion chives, boiled eggs, or even toasted garlic. And the lemon was just redundant it already has that acidity coming from the vinegar
    All in all, I enjoyed this vid and I really love that saying "Use the right amount, not the WHITE amount". Lol
