Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 1 onion peeled and chopped
- 2 cloves garlic peeled and minced
- ½ pound pork belly cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 tablespoon shrimp paste
- 2 Roma tomato chopped
- 2 cups water
- ½ kalabasa small, peeled and cut into pieces
- 8 okra ends trimmed
- ½ bunch long beans ends trimmed and cut into 3-inch lengths
- 1 ampalaya medium, seeded, halved, cut into 1-inch thick pieces
- 1 eggplant large, ends trimmed, cut into 1-inch thick pieces
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- In pot over medium heat, heat oil. Add onions and garlic and cook, stirring regularly, until softened.
- Add pork and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned.
- Add shrimp paste and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until it begins to brown.
- Add tomatoes and cook, mashing with the back of a spoon, until softened and have released juice.
- Add water and bring to a boil. Lower heat, cover, and cook for about 15 to 20 minutes or until meat is tender. Add more water in ½ cup increments as needed to maintain about 1 cup of liquid.
- Add squash and cook for about 2 minutes or until almost tender.
- Add long beans and continue to cook until tender-crisp.
- Add ampalaya, eggplant, and okra. Continue to cook for about 4 to 5 minutes or until vegetables are tender yet crisp.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.
Notes
- To ensure even cooking, cut the ingredients in uniform sizes such as the long beans in the same lengths, the pork belly in the same thickness.
- Add the vegetables in the pot according to how long they cook. Sturdier ones such as kalabasa and sitaw go in first followed by eggplant, bittermelon, and okra which take less time to soften.
