Adobo Lettuce Cups: Ever Tried using Mayonnaise with your Scrap Adobo?
7
22

Taking inspiration from Peking Duck scraps, this entry uses old pork adobo, which is neatly placed above some fried noodles and lettuce. To add a bit of flair, Adobo Mayonnaise, a smoothly-textured, slightly sweet and sour sauce instantly twists this mundane dish into a serious snack.

If you have some old adobo lurking in your fridge, it just might be the perfect time to give this a go.

    I always say, never refuse leftover adobo…you can truly do so much with it!  I love the idea of making an adobo sauce with mayo…I’m a big fan of mayo even if it isn’t the healthiest thing around ;)
