Chicken Adobo Preparation
- Make the marinade by combining the Knorr Liquid Seasoning, vinegar, and pepper in a non-reactive bowl.
- Pour half of this marinade into a separate bowl.
- Add the chicken into one of the bowls and marinate for at least 1 hour.
- Heat the oil in a sauce pan over medium heat.
- Add the garlic cloves and cook until fragrant.
- Add the marinated chicken and brown.
- Pour the reserve marinade and the Knorr Oyster Sauce in.
- Add the water and bay leaves.
- Let the mixture simmer until the chicken is cooked through, around 10 minutes.
- Taste and adjust seasoning.
- Let the dish cool then store in the chiller until ready to use.
-
Spice Paste Preparation
- In a food processor, put the ginger, turmeric, shallots, lemongrass stalks, dried shrimp, chilies, coriander root, coriander leaves, Knorr Chicken Broth, Knorr Pork Broth, Knorr Shrimp Powder, canola oil, coconut milk, and soaked glutinous rice.
- Puree into a smooth paste.
- Set aside until ready to use.
- This spice paste may be stored in the chiller for up to 4 days.

Glutinous Rice Preparation
- Place the rice over a drum sieve and cover with cling wrap (another option is to wrap the rice in cheesecloth and place on top of the sieve).
- Steam for 25 minutes at 100°C.
