More Flavorful And Nourishing Adobo? Try Adding JOLLY Mushrooms

Who doesn’t find adobo as their favorite dish at home? All of us, even non-Pinoys love our adobo dish. It’s salty, sour, savory dish in one and the dripping sauce is enough to be ulam in itself.

But still, cooking up a hearty dish on a daily basis is also challenging, as you need to achieve the perfect balance of flavors and the right complementing staple ingredients (be it pork, chicken, fish or vegetables) to make each family meal time a happy, satisfying experience.
