This spicy marinade owes its unusual flavor to the chipotle, a smoked jalapeno chile. Chipotles are usually sold canned in tomato paste. Look for them at Mexican and Latin American markets. Adobo marinade goes particularly well with pork.

Congee is the Chinese name, Kanji the Japanese, and Jook is the Filipino name, all for the same thing.
