Love Filipino food? Here's how to make adobong pusit from Lumpia Shack in Brooklyn.

One of our favorite dishes at home is adobong pusit (squid cooked adobo style). It’s a home-style dish that’s quick to prepare and pairs well with hot rice.

Adobong pusit always had a particular place in my heart. To be clear, it’s not my favorite food or seafood dish. Sure, small squid being simmered in vinegar and soy sauce makes for a tasty meal.

Adobo is also both a cooking technique (inadobo means to marinate in Tagalog) and name of the dish, like Chicken Adobo or Adobong Pusit (squid).

One of the very old recipes in the book is called something called “Potaje de Adobado de Gallina” or Chicken Adobo Recipe. Here is the recipe for adobo from the 1500s translated by Miller.
