Instructions
- Cut ampalaya lengthwise into halves. With a spoon, remove the seeds and scrape off the inner pith. Slice into ¼-inch thickness and place in a bowl of cold water until needed. Drain well when ready to use.
- In a wide pan/wok, add pork belly and cook until lightly browned and begins to render fat.
- Add onions and garlic and cook until softened.
- Add tomatoes and cook, mashing with the back of the spoon, until softened and release juices.
- Add water and bring to a boil. Lower heat, cover, and simmer until pork is tender.
- In a bowl, combine light soy sauce, Maggi oyster sauce, sugar, and cornstarch. Stir until smooth. Add to pan and stir to distribute. Simmer until the sauce is slightly thickened.
- Add ampalaya and tausi. Stir to distribute. Cover and cook until ampalaya is tender.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Notes
- Cut the ampalaya and pork belly into uniform, even slices to ensure they cook evenly.
- Keep stirring to a minimum and avoid overcooking the ampalaya to preserve its bright color and slight crunch; this also helps reduce the bitter taste.
