Cooked: Spicy Pork Binagoongan (Spicy Pork in Shrimp Paste)

Yesterday, I ran out of ideas of what to cook for lunch for our laborers. We already had adobo and menudo plus sinigang all through the week, and I still have a few pounds of pork meat in the fridge. 

Good thing is that I still have s few jalapenos left and what I just need is half a cup or less of shrimp paste.

Further, I found this recipe online which is really an easy one to cook.. :)

All you need to have are the following:

• 2 lbs Pork, cubed
• 1 tbsp Garlic, minced
• 5 tbsp vinegar
• 1 cup onion, chopped
• 1 cup tomato, chopped
• 1 pc chili (banana pepper, jalapeno, or long chili pepper), sliced
• 1/2 cup shrimp paste
• 3-5 pcs dried bay leaves
• 1 tbsp whole pepper corn
• 24 ounces water
• salt and pepper

Instructions: 

1. In a pot, pour-in the water and bring to a boil
2. Put-in the pork, vinegar, and dried bay leaves and simmer for 35 minutes or until meat is tender
3. Remove the meat from the pot separating it from the liquid and other ingredients. set aside
4. In a separate pan, saute the garlic, onion, tomato
5. Add the shrimp paste and simmer for 5 minutes (more time is needed for raw shrimp paste)
6. Put the pork in and cook for 7 minutes. Be sure to mix all the ingredients well
7. Add the chili and simmer for 3 minutes
8. Add salt and pepper to taste
9. Serve hot. Share and Enjoy!
