Notes
Recipe Notes.
The longer you marinate your meat, the tastier it will come out! Leftover adobo is so delicious since it is been marinating with the sauce while sitting in your fridge.
Try to make fried rice with your leftover sauce.
Store your leftover in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Soy sauce and vinegar are the key ingredients to keep it longer without spoiling.
