I would think star anise and the trusty asparagus would make this a hit every time! s-a-v-i-n-g!

I love Adobo, though never thought to try it with star anise in the mix. The extra flavours would make this fabulous served as you have presented it (instead of the regular huge-scoops-over-rice). Asparagus never had it so good :)
Great, great post, with thanks, Food4All :)
