Adobo de pollo desde España a Filipinas / Chicken Adobo from Spain to the Philipines

How much time does it take for a nation to establish it own  national dish ?
How strong should be the recipe and the identity of the population to keep the idea that is a national dish?Adobo -  Ive heard this word in Spain in  many  recipes and it is certain  this word appears in thousands of preparations, adobar means marinate, you will find  different kinds of adobo chicken, beef, pork and squid adobos all of them marinated in a rich marinade with vinegar, some black pepper corns and  soy sauce for no less than 12 hours.                                                                      





I  prepare it frequently,  but I have made some changes from the original recipe .
The first time I tasted it in Manila was a mix of sensations in my mouth, from one side Chinese because of the appearance of soy sauce and Spanish of the other side  with vinegar and garlic touch .
 Also I have tasted specialities as Crispy pata (3 times fried pig feet with chili, lime and soy dipping sauce), lumpias (springrolls pinoy), adobong pusuit (squid adobo), pancit canton (rice noddles with vegetables and meat), siningang sampaloc(tamarind and vegetable broth), Sia pao (steamed bread with stuffing)
The main diferences between the original recipe  is that after the chicken  has been marinated  I added corn starch to it. Later  I stir fry it in a wok or frying pan with vegetable oil. This procedure gives place to an exotic crispiness and the marinade flavours remain inside the chicken. After that I finished the sauce and simmered the chicken peaces into the sauce.

Tournedos de Lomo con reducción de vino tinto/Beef tenderloin medalion with red wine reduction

It could be a classic an oldie, but classics always help me to think twice the decisions I have to make. In this case my decision was to add some sweet flavors to the sauce, honey, brown sugar and a beef stock made from loin trimmings, this are the keys to create this dish. For the sauce use a good wine one drinkable. 

I`ve been in Bourdeaux shame I didn`t have it. 

I remember when we  went to chateaux Margaux, Marie brizard, Sauterns  with my kitchen mates from ferrandi school we run around every gourmand corner but still didn`t have it, by the way my regards to all of them and to chef Monsieur Marcouiller. 

The original recepe is made with Bordeaux and maroow bone , but now a days most chef use a good drinkable wine, merlot, malbec , cabernet suavignion. don`t use tannat please I repeat no tanat tanat no for god´s sake. A la votre !!
