Adobong Pusit (Squid Stewed in Soy Sauce and Vinegar)
How to make: Saute onion and garlic in canola oil until fragrant. Add in squid, soy sauce and pepper. Saute for 2 - 3 minutes (this will lessen or remove the fishy / animalic smell from the squid). Add water and cover the pot. Cook for 5 minutes. Add in vinegar and continue cooking for 10 minutes or more until the squid is cooked with just the right texture.
For those who have cooked adobo many times, you might hint that this method of cooking will not give a well cooked vinegar note since it's added in the last part. It might be argued further, that it's not given enough time to achieve the right balance of sourness, hence, it might come out too sharp. Well, surprisingly it did not. So, now I have another way of cooking adobong pusit.
