Want Adobo Flakes Instantly? Make Them With a Special Ingredient

Filipino cooks are incredibly resourceful. We pickle and preserve, make multiple dishes out of one ingredient, and turn leftovers into magic.

Adobo flakes is one of the best examples of our dexterity as cooks—we take the remnants of rich chicken or pork adobo, then pull it apart, and leave it alone in a pan to dry out. The result are crispy, thin flakes of meat that have become almost as popular as the dish that it emerged from. It is usually found alongside garlic rice and egg, a way to turn last night’s dinner into breakfast.

However, what happens to one’s craving for the crackly threads when there is no adobo? Using Knorr Liquid Seasoning, it is entirely possible to churn out something just as good, regardless of whether you have leftovers or not. The Knorr Liquid Seasoning here is the reason for all that umami flavor you get, replacing hours of cooking your adobo over the stove. It also adds a dark, rich hue to your flakes, which gives it its signature golden brown appearance. Here, we outline the process step by step, so you never have to wait for a batch of adobo just to taste its flakes again.
