Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 tablespoon neutral cooking oil generic cooking oil
  • 1 onion peeled and chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic peeled and minced
  • 2 pounds pork belly cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 Roma tomato chopped
  • 2 tablespoons shrimp paste sautéed
  • 2 tablespoons vinegar
  • 1 can coconut milk 13 ounces
  • 1 cup water
  • 6 Thai Chili pepper stemmed and minced
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a wide pan or skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Add onions and garlic and cook until softened. 
  2. Add pork and cook until lightly browned.
  3. Add tomatoes and cook, mashing with the back of the spoon, until softened.
  4. Add shrimp paste and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 1 to 2 minutes.
  5. Add vinegar and allow to a boil, uncovered and without stirring, for about 3 to 5 minutes.
  6. Add coconut milk, water, chili peppers, and sugar.
  7. Lower heat, cover, and simmer until it begins to render fat and pork is fork-tender.
  8. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.

Notes

  • Freeze the pork belly until partially firm to make slicing easier. Make sure the pieces are in uniform sizes to ensure even cooking.
  • I use sauteed shrimp paste with a tamer "fishy taste." If using raw bagoong, saute it a few minutes longer until nicely browned.
  • The vinegar will help balance the strong flavors of the dish. Once added to the pan, boil it uncovered and without stirring until mostly absorbed to cook off the acidity.
  • To ensure a smooth sauce, simmer, and do NOT allow the coconut milk to a rolling boil lest it curdles and separates.
