Hit of the month: Binagoongan

I know that this might not seem like a new recipe to Filipinos, but I personally haven't cooked binagoongan in my life, and it turned out to be a hit.  My version is spicy and has cripy pork instead of the usual soft pork.

Ingredients:
Pork liempo - cut in 1-inch cubes
onion
garlic
1 tomato, chopped
bagoong - 1 heaping tablespoon
sitaw
sinigang na sili - 2 pcs, seeds removed

Boil the pork in garlic, onion, salt and peper until softened, about 10 min.  Drain, then fry til crispy on the outside. Set aside.

Saute onion in 1 tbsp oil.  When the onion is translucent, add the garlic, tomato and bagoong (you can add as much as you want really).

Add in the sitaw and cover until cooked.

Add the cripy pork and chili last, and mix. You can add 1/2 cup water if you want there to be some sauce. Then cover for 5 min to let the flavors mix together.

Serve :)
