Ingredients
- 2 pounds pork belly cut into 2-inch cubes
- 7 cups water
- 1 onion peeled and quartered
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 bunch water spinach aka kangkong
- 1 pound guava fresh, about 10 to 12 pieces
- 8 pieces taro peeled and cut into 2-inch chunks
- salt to taste
Instructions
- In a pot over medium heat, combine pork and water. Bring to a boil, skimming scum that floats on top.
- When the broth has cleared, add onions and fish sauce.
- Lower heat, cover, and continue to cook for about 1 to 1 ½ hours or until pork is tender. Add more water in ½ cup increments, if needed, to maintain about 6 cups.
- Meanwhile, cut into guavas into halves and using a small spoon, scoop out the seeds.
- In a bowl, combine guava seeds and the remaining 1 cup water. Using the back of a spoon, mash to extract pulp and strain in a fine-mesh sieve. Reserve the guava juice and discard the seeds.
- Trim about 2 inches from the kangkongs stalks and discard. Cut kangkong into 3-inch lengths, separating the sturdier stalks from the leaves. Wash thoroughly and drain well. Set aside.
- Add gabi, sliced guava, and the guava juice to the pot and continue to cook for about 5 minutes or until tender.
- Season with salt to taste.
- Add kangkong beginning with the sturdier stalks and then the leaves. Continue to cook for about 1 to 2 minutes. Serve hot.
Notes
- Use a mix of almost ripe and still green guavas for a good balance of sour and sweet fruit taste.
