Adobong Palaka is a Filipino dish made with frogs cooked in a savory and tangy sauce.

Here's a
basic recipe for Adobong Palaka:

Ingredients:

 4-6 medium-sized frogs, cleaned and dressed (you can ask your butcher to do this for
you)
 1/2 cup vinegar
 1/4 cup soy sauce
 1 head of garlic, minced
 1 medium-sized onion, sliced
 3-4 pieces dried bay leaves
 1 teaspoon whole peppercorns
 Salt and pepper to taste
 Cooking oil for frying

Instructions:

1. Marinate the frogs: In a bowl, combine the vinegar, soy sauce, minced garlic, sliced
onion, bay leaves, and peppercorns. Stir to mix well. Place the cleaned frogs in the
marinade, making sure they are fully coated. Marinate for at least 1 hour, or overnight in
the refrigerator for best results.
2. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, fry the marinated frogs
until they are golden brown. Remove from the pan and set aside.
3. In the same pan, sauté the remaining garlic and onion until they are soft and fragrant.
4. Add the fried frogs back into the pan. Pour in the marinade mixture. Let it simmer for
about 15-20 minutes or until the frogs are tender and cooked through, and the sauce has
thickened slightly. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking and to prevent sticking.
5. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper according to your preference.
6. Once the frogs are cooked and the sauce has thickened, remove the pan from the heat.
7. Transfer the Adobong Palaka to a serving dish and serve hot with steamed rice.
