With all the rain we have been having, we considered we’d share a soup recipe from our good friends at the 671 Guam Recipes.

This 7 days we may possibly be stirring the pot a minimal with Joaquin Cepeda Sablan’s recipe for Estufao Mannok (chicken), courtesy of Cel Montague, creator of the Facebook group 671 Guam Recipes.

“A whole lot of men and women get puzzled with adobo and estufao,” stated Montague, who has partnered with the PDN to supply the group’s vintage island recipes to our audience. “Estufao is CHamoru and cooked this way (without having soy sauce) in the old previous times. Adobo is Filipino. A lot of CHamorus are contacting estufao by the Filipino title, ‘adobo,’ created with soy sauce.

“They are unable to connect with estufao by the Filipino title — but they do. This is controversial — we could possibly get pushback for this one particular from the community CHamorus who continue to insist it is adobo and that our estufao was designed with soy sauce.”

When Sablan posted his recipe in September 2021 to the team, he questioned, “Does everyone make estufao or kådun pika without soy sauce?”

“My mother taught me to make it with out and I enjoy it,” he additional. “My uncle on my dad’s facet helps make kådun pika with gizzard no soy sauce far too. Thinking if it is just a spouse and children matter or if soy sauce was extra right after World War II.”

Montague added, “I imagine soy sauce was launched later as he states. My mom also designed it without having soy sauce.”
