Cooking Tips for Instant Pot Chicken Adobo

1. Filipino Soy Sauce & Vinegar

As we were developing this recipe, we taste tested different brands & combinations of vinegar & soy sauces.

Since the Filipino Soy Sauce tastes more sour than the Chinese Light Soy Sauce (not low sodium soy sauce), we achieved a satisfactory equilibrium by mixing the two soy sauces together.

*Note: Different brands of Filipino Soy Sauces and Vinegar can taste vastly different due to various factors such as different levels of acidity and ingredients. Even different bottles of the same brand can taste different.

So, be sure to taste & adjust, taste & adjust to get the right balance of flavors for your palate! 🙂

For reference: we used Silver Swan Filipino Soy Sauce + Lee Kum Kee Light Soy Sauce + Red Boat Fish Sauce + Lorins Sukang Sasa Filipino Vinegar for this recipe.

2. Pot-in-Pot Rice

Try to get your hands on a Stainless Steel Bowl for using the Pot-in-Pot method in Instant Pot Pressure Cooker.

For those who just want to make Instant Pot Chicken Adobo, you can simply skip the pot-in-pot rice and use the same pressure cooking time.
