Frog Adobo (adobong Palaka)

re-cooked August 9,2014

Have you eaten an edible frog ( palakang bukid)?  I have eaten it 20 years ago, it tasted like chicken,  I ate the legs because it's the only meaty part. During rainy season my brothers and their friends will hunt for frogs and cook it  when they are done cooking they  will call the neighbors to feast on it. The sound of happiness is what you can hear while they're eating and sharing good chats.

Ingredients:
1 kilo cleaned Frog
8 cloves Garlic
thumb size Ginger
1 big Onion
3/4 cup Vinegar
1/2 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon crushed black pepper
3 bay leaves/laurel

Cleaned frogs

Procedure:
1. Saute the garlic and ginger then the onion and add the frog meat, laurel and black pepper then stir to mix well then simmer over medium heat until the pinkish color is gone.
2. Add the vinegar and soy sauce ( do not mix) just cover and wait until it starts to boil then simmer for few minutes before mixing.  Continue to simmer until done while stirring every now and then.
3. It is done when it is almost dry but still saucy.
4. Serve with a smile.
