Culinary experts may disagree, but many people say adobo is the national dish* of the Philippines. The simple umami-packed dish got a stamp of approval from perhaps the world's most famous chef -- Mickey Mouse.
October is Filipino-American Heritage Month in the United States, and to mark the occasion, Disney released on its social media accounts an adorable illustrated recipe of one of the most recognizable Filipino dishes, chicken adobo.
“Mickey and friends are here to share a special chicken adobo recipe. Chicken adobo is a popular Filipino dish and each family has their own way of making it,” Disney wrote on its Facebook page, featuring Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and Goofy, with Mickey holding a bowl of adobo while Goofy carried some white rice.
The artwork featured a simple five-step recipe, with ingredients such as chicken, bay leaves, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic cloves, as well as some water, sugar, and black peppercorns.
