Instructions
- In a large pot, heat oil over medium heat. Fry the slices of saba until sides are browned. Remove from the oil and set aside.
- Add the pork hock slices and sear all sides until slightly browned. Add the soy sauce, vinegar, water, and peppercorns and bring to boil over high heat.
- Once boiling, lower heat to low and cover the pot. Let it simmer for an hour or until the meat becomes fork-tender. Add more water as needed.
- Place sugar and 1 tablespoon of water in a saucepan. Melt over low heat until it turns into a golden caramel. Pour this to the simmering pot of pork hocks. Be careful as it will bubble up while pouring.
- Add the banana blossoms. Add the fried bananas and let simmer for another 5 minutes.
- Serve while warm with steamed rice.
