Dalaw

Dalaw is a traditional Filipino dish originating from the Visayas region, particularly in the province of Cebu. It is a type of adobo, a popular Filipino cooking method that involves marinating meat in a mixture of vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, and other spices before cooking. The term "dalaw" specifically refers to the adobo made with chicken, although it can also be made with other types of meat such as pork or beef.

The preparation of dalaw begins with marinating the chicken in the adobo sauce for several hours or overnight. This process allows the flavors to penetrate the meat, resulting in a tender and flavorful dish. After marinating, the chicken is typically simmered in the same sauce until it is cooked through. The resulting dish is often served with steamed rice and a side of pickled vegetables or a simple salad.

Dalaw is a staple in Filipino cuisine and is often served during special occasions and family gatherings. Its versatility and rich flavor profile make it a favorite among both locals and tourists. The dish is also a popular choice for takeout and delivery, reflecting its widespread appeal and accessibility.
