🇵🇭PhilippinesMedium

Meat Dishes

Chicken Adobo

The national dish of the Philippines — chicken thighs braised in a tangy-savory mix of soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, bay leaves, and black pepper until the meat is fall-off-the-bone tender and the sauce is thick and glossy. Simple, deeply flavorful, and even better the next day.

Sisig (Filipino Sizzling Pork) with pork belly, chicken liver and calamansi — Philippines recipe

🇵🇭PhilippinesAdvanced

Meat Dishes

Sisig (Filipino Sizzling Pork)

Sisig is the Philippines' most famous sizzling dish — a bold, addictive tangle of crisp-edged chopped pork and chicken liver, brightened with calamansi, sharpened with raw onion and bird's eye chili, and served screaming hot on a cast-iron plate, often crowned with a raw egg stirred through at the table. Born in Pampanga as a way to use every part of the pig, it's sour, savoury, fatty, and spicy all at once — the ultimate pulutan to eat with cold beer and rice.

Sushi Bake with sushi rice, imitation crab and Kewpie mayonnaise — Philippines recipe

🇵🇭PhilippinesMedium

Fish and Seafood Dishes

Sushi Bake

A deconstructed California roll served as a hot casserole: seasoned sushi rice under a baked layer of crab and creamy mayo, scooped onto squares of nori at the table. It is a modern fusion dish — it grew up in Hawaii as pan sushi and went viral from the Philippines in 2020 — rather than a traditional Japanese one. It feeds a crowd from a single dish.
