Adobong Balut

Adobong BalutSince this is the l♥ve month our theme at KCC is Filipino Aphrodisiacs.

I thought long and hard about my entry and I just think that nothing could be more pinoy than Balut.I’ve posted about Balut and Fried Balut before but as a refresher for my non-Filipino readers out there:

Balut is boiled fertilized duck egg with a 9 – 14 day old embryo inside.It is commonly sold as a streetfood during night time by a vendor roaming the street and carrying a basket of full of warm baluts.

It is known as an aphrodisiac specially for the Filipino male because it is said to increase stamina and sex drive. Although contrary to the popular belief, I don’t think it could be an aphrodisiac for me. I’m more of a chocolate-dipped strawberry kind-of-girl..hee. I don’t think balut is sexy–at all. Don’t get me wrong, I love balut even if I don’t eat the duck embryo. My daughter Ykaie loves it as well.

Adobong Balut I can only tell you that Balut is a hearty, high-protein and delicious snack .

Since we are talking about Filipino recipes, I think it is only right to cook balut in the most popular recipe in the country : Adobo.

  2. Add Balut and fry for a few seconds.
  3. Pour soy sauce and vinegar.You can increase or decrease the amount of vinegar, depending on how sour you want your Adobo to be.

It’s very easy, since the Balut is already cooked.

    This is one of my favorite food (snack) when I was still living in Hong Kong (many many years ago). They were very popular in Vietnamese restaurants. The Vietnamese style is steam, and simply enjoy with roasted salt and pepper. There are a few Asian supermarkets that carry them here in Los Angeles but I’ve never cook them myself. So, haven’t eat them for years. 🙂

    I know I lead a sheltered US -Midwest life – this is one dish I have never heard of and truly can’t even imagine the taste. If I am ever presented with the opportunity to try this I will remember that it is tasty! Thanks for linking this to the Hearth and Soul Hop!

    Balut is one of my favorite snacks, specially when it’s still warm, with salt and a few sprinkling of sinamak. Sarap to the max!:)

    I have seen balut adobo before but haven’t tried it yet. Yours looks so drool-worthy I will cook some the soonest.

    Heard of balut, but have yet to see a blogger share a recipe. No doubt this is intimidating for some of us, but it’s cool to see.

    Thank you!!!! I was wondering if some one will be brave to post either balut or the soup no. 5=;). You made the balut look so pretty and appetizing. I’ve tried the “penoy” the yolky one but not this. Thanks again! Love this blog.

    Hi there mommy Anney. I am not sure, but I don’t know if I will ever have the taste for balut. For now I am still not into it, but I am sure it is good like maybe fried. Yes, balut for sure has a lot of nutrition and maybe someday I will get use to it. 🙂 Visiting!
