Adobong Manok

Ingredients:

• 1 whole chicken, cut up into pieces
• 2 tbsp cooking oil
• 1 tsp minced garlic
• 1 whole chopped onion
• 1 whole chopped tomato
• 2/3 cup of soy sauce
• 1/4 cup of vinegar
• 5 bay leaves

• Optional:  Mang Tomas All-Purpose Sauce and Oyster Sauce

Procedure:

1. Heat up some cooking oil in a pan.
2. Saute the garlic, onion, and tomato.
3. Mix in the chicken.
4. Let it simmer for around 15 minutes.
5. Put some soy sauce and let it simmer again for roughly around 15 minutes.  Mix it from time to time.
6. Add some vinegar.  Cover it and don’t stir.  Let it boil.
7. Once boiling, put some bay leaves and mix it.
8. Simmer it until you reach desired consistency of the sauce.  We like the sauce thick so I would simmer it for roughly 20 more minutes on low to medium heat.
9. Serve with rice.
