This sweet adobong pusit recipe is absolutely delicious and you will never thought that adobong pusit can be leveled up and made as tasty as this one. I think the secret ingredient here are the combination of garlic, onion, ginger and sugar which I usually used in making stir-fried crabs. If you don’t want to use the ink sac in cooking this dish, you can remove it while cleaning the squid or you can just use few ink sac to make the color of the sauce lighter. Also, if you are wondering why it is named Dampa style its because this squid adobo is also served in Dampa seafood restaurant. But don’t expect that this is the exact recipe because its only a copy cat dish and might vary in taste or the cooking style.
