Okay, so I broke m pseudo-diet and made some adobo rice last night. I can’t help it! I love rice.
Here’s a delicious way to add zing to your usual bowl of white rice using leftover adobo (nothing goes to waste! yay!). I got this nifty tip for Yummy Magazine’s May 2007 issue (yeah, Yummy is my bible). First, I sauteed some garlic and onions, until the garlic turned golden brown and the onions became transparent. Then I added in some cooked white rice and some adobo sauce from the chicken adobo we had for lunch. After making sure that all the rice grains were covered in adobo sauce, I placed the rice in a nice plate and garnished it with green mangoes and garlic.
My mom suggested I place adobo flakes, but I was too lazy and I didn’t know how. But our help fried the leftover chicken adobo until it became crunchy, so we added that in, too.
Too bad I did not see Marketman’s Fried Adobo Flakes recipe right away. So if you ever want to make adobo rice, top it off with some adobo flakes using that recipe. Another tip: the sourer the green mangoes, the better. I think the ones I used were almost ripe, so they tasted a bit sweet.
But it was good. Screw that diet. I love rice.

Hehe, IMO, I think anyone who loves to cook and is a Filipino… has discovered a version or two of that dish… when faced with rice and adobo leftovers.
Love it, great rehashed rice combo.
I tried bistek and rice once garnished with spring onions… turned out OK.
