Today I tried another new recipe which was inspired from my favorite show – Food Safari…. Chicken Adobo is a Filipino dish . The best part of the dish was that it was very simple to make. It is uniquely made by stewing the chicken in soya sauce and vinegar. My success is measured by my kids acceptance of any new dish. They loved it and I will make it again and next time in larger quantities. I love my family for being open to idea of trying new dishes from different cuisine around the world which has inspired me to go beyond the boundary of just our regular Nepali food !
