Ingredients
- 2 pounds pork ribs
- 8 cups water
- 1 large yellow onion sliced thickly
- 1 teaspoon peppercorn
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce
- 3 pcs medium potatoes
- 2 pcs green saba bananas
- 6 pieces Baguio beans / green beans
- 1 stalk onion leek or green onion
- 1-2 bunch pechay or cabbage
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Place pork ribs in a large pot. Add just enough water to submerge. Bring to a boil over high heat. Once the scum has come out, turn off the heat, throw away the water, and give the pork ribs and pot a quick rinse.
- Return the pork ribs to the pot and add about 8 cups of water. Add the onion, peppercorn, and fish sauce. Bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, cover and turn the heat to low. Let it simmer until meat is fork tender.
- Meanwhile, prepare the vegetables and bananas. Wash and peel the potatoes and then cut them into quarters. Cut off the ends of the bananas and wash thoroughly, then cut each into 3 pieces diagonally, unpeeled. Soak both potatoes and saba bananas in water until ready to use.
- Cut off the stem of the pechay and wash the leaves thoroughly. Remove the ends of the beans and cut into about 3-inch lengths. Remove the root part of the onion leek and cut it into 2-inch pieces.
- Add the green bananas and cook for 5 minutes, then add the potatoes and cook for another 5 minutes and then add the green beans and cook for another 5 minutes or until the potatoes are cooked.
- Season with salt and pepper as needed then lastly add the green onions and pechay. Cover the pot and let simmer for a minute before turning it off.
- Serve in a large soup pot or individual bowls. Enjoy with rice and a spicy fish sauce dip.
