This Adobong Kangkong Recipe is the vegetable version of the well-loved Filipino Adobo. Like the Pork Adobo and Adobo Flakes, the Adobong Kangkong Recipe is made using soy sauce and vinegar plus onions, garlic and bay leaf. Kangkong (a green Filipino leafy vegetable) is then sliced thinly including the tender parts of its stems. Some Filipino household use only kangkong and no meat while others put some meat like ground pork or pork meat that has been thinly sliced. Onions and Garlic are added and seasoned well with pepper and bay leaf. It needs to be cooked well until the leaves and stems are tender and it’s mostly accompanied by fried fish or meat together with hot rice. This dish is famous for Mothers, Grandmothers, and Aunts when they cook on a weekday and like Kangkong with oyster sauce, this recipe has a dark color.
