| Jordan Andino teaches Selena Gomez how to cook chicken adobo. |
The second season of Selena + Chef is on HBO Max and she learns how to cook the Philippines' national dish -- adobo.
Pop singer Selena Gomez is learning how to cook curing the pandemic by inviting guest chefs to give her cooking lessons virtually.
In the 6th episode of the unscripted Selena + Chef, Filipino Canadian chef Jordan Andino teaches her how to cook adobo chicken.
It's not surprising that Selena and her girlfriends love the results. It was the first time. they say, they had Filipino food, which is slowly coming gaining in popularity.
Andino, the charming and energetic Toronto native, grew up in a restaurant kitchen because his father was a professional chef and would often take his son to work.
Andino's recipe includes oyster sauce, an ingredient that is not in my own recipe. I'm eager to try it.
At one point, Andino Facetimes or Skypes his "lola," who gives a grandmotherly "It's OK," for Selena's results.
The other Filipino dish Andino teaches Selena to prepare is the mouth-watering turon, the plantain inside a lumpia wrap with generous amounts of sugar.
Andino is host of Late Nite Eats on the Cooking Channel. He’s also the Executive Chef at Flip Sigi, a Filipino taqueria in New York City, where he brings Filipino flavors and marries them with popular Mexican cuisine. Dishes include: adobo chicken tacos, adobo-rito and sinigang flip bowl. It's open for curbside pickup, if you're in the neighborhood.
