Adobong Pusit recipe is squid stewed in vinegar and soy sauce but not this one.

During the old days before Filipinos discovered the use of soy sauce adobo was seasoned with salt instead of soy sauce. They called it Adobong Puti.

I’m not sure if I should call this recipe Adobong Pusit na Puti. Anyway, depending on my sibling’s mood he might add soy sauce or just the traditional salt.

Either way with or without soy sauce, they are both flavorful.

Cooked cut squid with head and tentacles in a skillet.

They made this tangy dish while I was there and it was very delicious. My brother was cooking while my niece was video taping.

My brother is always grilling squid. On this day though he decided to make adobong pusit since it was cold outside.

When he was at the Korean store he was surprised how expensive these squids were. They told him it was the premium type.

Well anyway, it was very sweet and delicious. He cooked it spot on – not rubbery or chewy.

Adobong pusit recipe is a Filipino dish in a pan with cut squid with head and tentacles in vinegar.

He cleaned the squid by removing the eyes, the transparent backbone or cellophane as we call it and the innards.

He separated the head from the body and sliced the squid into rings or bite size.
