Notes
- String beans: The recipe traditionally makes use of string beans. This is also known as sitaw in Filipino. Long green beans (also known as baguio beans) can be used as a substitute.
- Pork: This ingredient is nice to have for this recipe, but there are many alternative ingredients that you can use. For example, chicken , fried tofu, and dried fish works well for this dish.
- Check out my ginataang papaya recipe for an idea on how to incorporate dried fish to ginataan dishes.
- Coconut milk: Fresh coconut milk is best, but you can use cannned coconut milk or the powdered ones for this recipe.
