In cooking adobong atay…what is the ratio for the vinegar and soy sauce? Is it 1:1?

I once ate at a local carinderia and their balunbalunan was really very tender and did not shrink. I asked the owner and he said he had them soaked and boiled in vinegar. I didn’t asked how long cause I figured it was that easy. Well, mine was tender but it shrunk.

I learned to love chicken liver — Got into it when I was introduced to chicken liver wrapped in bacon and this chicken liver pica-pica at Penguin with gravy … parang pigs on a blanket chova. Can’t remember exactly. Bacon and gravy were great come-ons for me. I love it that I have no “liver” issue. I have a harder time with ampalaya to be honest.

I have a co-worker who used to buy the BEST chicken liver dishes — sarciado(cooked in tomatoes) and adobo near Don Bosco church. The cook was an old dude and he paired the dish with garlic rice with hotdog bits. He’s taken off to who knows where. Was so fond of the chicken liver — hardly a tinge of “pait” and was succulent and “springy” in texture and creamy in mouthfeel. It was heaven.

Thanks for this, MM. :)

iya et al, I have corrected the original post to reflect gizzards instead of kidneys and baticolon in place of the baticon…many thanks for the suggestions… enjoy your gizzards!

adobong chicken gizzard, liver and more are really a tasty dish. i like it better than pork liver cut thinly and make it into bistek tagalog with onions and soy sauce. ay naku pag-uwi ko sa Pilipinas sa October magpapaluto ako ng adobong balunbalunan, atay and more pero mas masarap pag medyo tuyo ang luto ng adobo para mas malasa. i am getting hungry while writing this message. i also love adobong gatang baboy at manok. yummy!!!

as with goodtimer, my sister taught me to cook sopas with atay and balunbalunan…though i am not too fond of these, i find it gives a very rich taste to the broth…
