Young age as I am , I have developed the liking in cooking. Through my mom, I am taught by her to cook different kinds of recipe. With that, I have learned to love cooking and have experimented on different menus and delicacies.

Getting on.

One of the recipes that I find easy and fast to cook is a famous Filipino delicacy and it is Binagoongang Baboy. Let me share to you through images the steps on how to prepare this delicious meal.

PROCEDURE IN COOKING

1. In a pan over medium heat, heat about 2 tablespoons of the oil. Add eggplant and fry until lightly browned, turning on sides as needed. Remove from heat and drain on paper towels.

2. In the pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Add pork cubes and cook until lightly browned. Remove from pan and drain on paper towels.
3. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the pan. Add onions and garlic and cook until fragrant. Add shrimp paste and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 3 to 5 minutes or until color darkens. Add tomatoes and cook, mashing with the back of the spoon, until softened. Add browned pork cubes.
4. Add vinegar and allow to a gentle boil, uncovered and without stirring, for about 3 to 5 minutes. Add water, sugar, and chili peppers. Lower heat, cover, and simmer until reduced and pork is fork-tender, adding more water in ½ cup increments if needed. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot with fried eggplant and steamed rice.
