binagoongan pork

Prepare the Pork:

• In a pot over medium heat, add the pork belly and let it brown in its own fat. Stir occasionally to get all sides browned. You may add a bit of oil if needed.
• Once browned, remove the pork from the pot and set aside.
  

Sauté the Aromatics:

• In the same pot, add a bit of cooking oil. Sauté the garlic and onions until softened and fragrant.
• Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until softened.
  

Add Shrimp Paste:

• Stir in the bagoong alamang (shrimp paste). Cook for about 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  

Cook the Pork:

• Return the browned pork to the pot and mix well to coat it with the shrimp paste mixture.
• Pour in vinegar and let it cook for a minute without stirring to reduce the strong vinegar taste.
  

Add Water and Simmer:

• Pour in the water and stir everything together. Bring it to a boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer for about 30–40 minutes, or until the pork is tender and the sauce has reduced.
• Add sugar if you want to balance the saltiness and a bit of sweetness.
  

Add Chili (optional):

• If you want some heat, add the green chili peppers in the last 10 minutes of cooking.
  

Season and Serve:

• Season with ground black pepper to taste. Adjust the balance of salt, vinegar, and sweetness if necessary.
  

Garnish and Serve:

• Serve hot with steamed rice, and enjoy!
