Delicious Spicy Adobong Pusit
Dare to try something uniquely delicious? This Spicy Adobong Pusit (squid adobo) is a flavor bomb you won’t forget! While its inky black sauce might look intimidating, one bite of this tender squid in spicy, garlicky adobo glaze will make you a believer.
Why This Dish Stands Out:
🦑 Squid’s Sweetness meets fiery chili heat in perfect harmony
⚫ That Signature Ink – Don’t be fooled by the dark sauce, it’s packed with umami magic!
🌶️ Customizable Spice – Make it mild or set your mouth on fire (your call!)
⏱️ Quick & Easy – Ready in just 20 minutes for a weeknight win
Pro Tips for Perfect Adobong Pusit:
✔️ Flash-cook the squid – 2 minutes max to keep it tender (not rubbery!)
✔️ Embrace the ink – That’s where the deep, oceanic flavor lives
✔️ Sauce control – Reduce for thicker glaze or add water for more saucy rice topping
How Filipinos Love to Eat It:
🍚 With MOUNTAINS of hot rice – The inky sauce is liquid gold for flavoring rice
🍺 Paired with ice-cold beer – The perfect contrast to the spicy kick
🥢 As pulutan – A drinking snack that gets more delicious with every round
Warning: Your rice consumption will double with this dish! 😉
