Filipino Adobong Pusit Recipe


Adobong Pusit or also known as "Squid Adobo" is a very popular Filipino Seafood and an all-time favorite of Filipinos. I remember like 15 years ago when my sister and I hated this food so much that we cried and begged for fried chicken instead. But now, what can I say, we just love it!

Adobong Pusit is a native and a favorite food of every Filipino household because it is very easy to cook and prepare just like the pork adobo and the chicken adobo.

Here is my grandma's adobong pusit recipe. Have fun! Try it out!
