My Version of Adobong Pusit “Squid”

Cooking this meal is fast and easy.

Some people would add carrots, pork and oyster sauce on this dish.

A traditional type of squid is smaller in size which tastes much better than the big ones which is also known as Calamares.

Since we do not have a housemaid, I usually do the household chores which allowed me to learn how to cook.  I just have a difficulty budgeting our money.  I don’t have an idea what to cook earlier.  It’s good that I saw some vendors selling some fresh squids which costs one hundred twenty pesos per kilo in the public market.

My husband prefer a spicier version of squid.
