Chicken Adobo with Rice Vinegar

What makes this chicken adobo recipe different from the original recipe? of course it is the rice vinegar. Rice vinegar is made from fermented rice or rice wine. It has a milder sweeter taste compared to regular vinegar and makers of this rice vinegar are from China, Japan, Korea and Vietnam. Rice wine is used mainly on asian cuisine and you might wonder if this adobo recipe  I have here is truly a Filipino recipe. Soy sauce is also an adapted ingredient from the Chinese and Japanese so why not the rice vinegar?

To cook chicken adobo in rice vinegar; Combine all ingredients except water. Marinate for at least 1/2 hour. Place pork, water, and marinade in saucepan and cook 30 minutes (simmering). Add the chicken. Simmer for additional 45 minutes to 1 hour. You can serve as is or remove the meat from the pot and fry until brown in small amount of oil and return to the sauce.
