Binagoongang Baboy (Beef) Ingredients:
This is something really easy to make. All the amounts of the ingredients are adjustable to your taste, of course. Serve this with hot steamed rice, kamatis, sliced cucumbers......just make sure you open the windows in the kitchen while you're cooking the bagoong!
Ingredients
1 kilo pork loin, cut into 1" cubes
1/2 cup vinegar (spicy preferred but not required)
1/2 cup bagoong or, for the Ilonggos, ginamus
6 cloves of garlic, crushed and then minced fine
6-10 peppercorns, crushed
2 bay leaves
Procedure:
1. Marinate the pork cubes in the other ingredients overnight in the refrigerator.
2. Heat 3 tablespoons of oil in a wok or large frying pan. Saute the bay leaves to bring out their fragrance.
3. Add the marinated pork along with the marinade. Cook over a medium heat until the pork is nice and tender (30-45 minutes). Check the frying pan every so often to make sure the sauce isn't drying out. If it is, lower the heat and add 1/3 c of water and stir.
To lessen the smell of the bagoong, you can clap a lid on the frying pan. Also, burning a piece of bread helps (the carbon absorbs the smell). But as a friend said, which is worse--the smell of bagoong or the smell of burned bread? My sister burns a candle by the stove while cooking bagoong.
