Low-Oxalate Filipino Adobo: A Safe Dining Guide

Craving authentic Filipino Adobo but navigating a low-oxalate diet? This beloved dish often contains high-oxalate ingredients that may trigger kidney issues. Learn how to enjoy Adobo safely, decode menus confidently, and make smart dining choices with mm food's innovative features.

Why Oxalates Matter in Adobo Flavors

Traditional Adobo recipes rely on soy sauce (high sodium and oxalates) and vinegar as foundational ingredients. Protein sources like pork/chicken are safe, but extra components matter:

• Soy Sauce: High-oxalate dark sauces dominate marinades
• Vegetable Additions: Common sides like spinach boost oxalate levels
• Serving Style: Sauces pool oxalates on rice (low-oxalate base)

Crafting Low-Oxalate Adobo Modifications

Request these changes when ordering or cooking:

• Substitute soy sauce with coconut aminos or homemade vinegar-lemon marinades
• Choose cauliflower rice instead of brown/white rice for extra reduction
• Skip sesame seeds & leafy green garnishes; opt for fresh herbs & citrus zest
• Emphasize garlic, ginger, and low-oxalate veggies like cabbage
