Adobong Pusit (Squid)

Here's another dish cooked using the popular Filipino cooking method, adobo. Honestly, I was not a fan of squid dishes before. I remember when I was a kid, I just really didn't like it. But when my uncle cooked adobong pusit, I absolutely asked for more. It was so tasty and delicious. And for me, it is really good with steamed rice. So obviously, this is my favorite squid dish.

One day, my father-in-law asked me to cook this one. He taught me how and I'm so hapy he did. And now. I want to share this recipe with you.
