1-Pot Vegan Filipino Adobo

Plant Fulfilled
Filipino food is normally just meat, but today I will blow your mind with this Vegan Filipino Adobo replication. There is no food restrictions for vegans. There is always a loophole of wild possibilities we may not be aware of just cause we think it can't work. "Nothing is impossible"-my mom

Equipment

  • cutting board
  • knife
  • big pot
  • measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients
  

  • 5 bay leaves
  • 1.5 tbsp. peppercorns
  • 1 onion yellow medium size
  • 1 can green jackfruit
  • 1 big carrot
  • 1 potato
  • 1 bell pepper
  • 10 oz Tamari low sodium gluten free
  • 1/2 cup white vinegar
  • 1 extra firm tofu block
  • 3 & 3/4 cup vegetable broth better than bouillon vegetable base
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 4 tbsp oil

Instructions
 

  • On a cutting board, cut the carrot, potatoes, bell pepper, and onions into bite sized cubes. In a strainer wash the potatoes to get some of the starch out. For the tofu I cut it into triangular shapes.
  • For the jackfruit don’t forget to check for little seeds in the pieces of jackfruit. Once that is done, squeeze or use a towel to drain out the water from the jackfruit. *Don’t have to cut jackfruit*
  • In a big pot, Sauté the peppercorns and bay leaves together on medium heat. For 1-2 minutes until the leaves turn a little brown. Be careful, when the peppercorns are on there for a while it will pop out of the pan.
  • Throw in the oil, onions, and jackfruit. Sauté for 1 minute on low to medium heat.
  • Once the onions are translucent, add in the salt, garlic powder, carrot, potatoes, and bell pepper. Cook for 5 minutes and stir. When everything is mixed thoroughly, cover it with a lid for the remaining minutes. .
  • When the 5 minutes are up, add in the tofu, tamari, veggie broth, and the white vinegar. DO NOT STIR WHEN WHITE VINEGAR IS ADDED. Let it boil for 15 minutes. The vegan adobo will be done if the potatoes are cooked! Don't forget to stir!!
    We Filipinos eat it with rice! Enjoy!

Notes

  1. If you have a trader joes near you, purchase the green jackfruit in Brine 20 ounce can. It has no sugar. 
  2. When adding the vinegar, it is important to leave the vinegar alone and let it sit for 15 minutes so that the adobo won't be so acidic. 
  3. If you like tempeh rather than tofu, I won't stop you!
