Adobong Mani with Garlic Chips

Adobong Mani is the most popular way Pinoys enjoy peanuts. Sold along the streets, sold in mall stalls or peddled all around even jeepneys and buses, fried peanuts are perfect munch on the go! 



Much more so if there's a generous amount of fried garlic in your batch - that is if you have a suki mani vendor.


If not, then you just content yourself with the "measly" garlic or you can make your own!
