Kinamatisang Baboy
Kinamatisang Baboy is a Filipino pork belly stew simmered in a tomato-based broth with garlic, onion, and fish sauce, then finished with tender pechay (bok choy). The pork becomes tender after simmering slowly, absorbing the tangy tomato flavor and savory seasoning. The dish balances richness from pork belly with freshness from the greens, creating a comforting meal often served hot as a soup or stew.
