Just a short update:

I do not enough HIVE during the power up day last time. I had to convert some of my tokens from Binace Smart Chain to get some cash and won't be able to buy HIVE for the power up day. That being said, I cannot complete the 12-month Hive Goal.

But anyway, I think it is fine I just need to stay in the community:)

PS: I am now fully embracing HIVE despite being inactive. I just changed my X profile (formerly Twitter) into my Hive personal space. Expect more tweets and posts! Follow me and tell me your honest feedback whether it is negatice as long as it is sincere and genuine.

Going back~

It is the weekend again, I want to go home but due to loads of school work and lack of time (because of the schedule), I have to stay in our boarding house. I want to go home because I want to eat a food cooked by my mother, it is just different when she is the one who cook food for us.

Since it is impossible for now, I had an idea to cook my version of Adobong Atay ng Manok. It is a popular dish in the Philippines and budget friendly especially if you are living alone.

I spent a total of ₱132.00 for the following ingredients:

• Garlic: ₱5.00
• Onion: ₱5.00
• Chili: ₱5.00
• Atay: ₱85.00 (half kilo)
• Soy sauce and Vinegar: ₱26.00
• Pepper: ₱6.00

For me this is an affordable dish because you can store this for a few days so you have a viand in this period instead of buying cooked foods in an eatery store.

First, I cut the ingredients and make sure that the Atay is cleaned. This is not my first time cooking such food but I am always nervous because it can be raw if you aren't used to cooking. I love cooking, so I always try to cook when I have the time (and not be lazy).

I opted to fry the Atay first to make sure that it would be cooked. Some people prefer not to fry this and let it boil in soy sauce and vinegar but I don't. I want it a bit toasted and to make sure that it is cooked.

After that, I sauteed the garlic and onion. I want to have more of it to add more flavor to the dish. Aside from that, it is tasty to eat. I haven't captured a photo of it but after waiting and putting all of the ingredients, here is the final dish:

I forgot to cut the atay into smaller pieces so I can eat it easily, maybe I will do it next time. I also cooked fried rice then ate my lunch. It was a long time of cooking for a beginner, but it is worth it. Now, I have a viand that can stay longer and save a decent amount of money.

Have you tried cooking Adobo before? How was it?
