Do you remember when I said if there's one recipe here on Kawaling Pinoy you should try, it should be the ginataang talong<\/a>? Well, folks, make that two because this binagoongan baboy sa gata is about to rock your taste buds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was my best friend's birthday two Saturdays ago, and I went to San Diego bright and early that day to help cook and prepare for the simple celebration she was having at home. You know how Filipino parties go, a simple celebration usually means the whole neighborhood and a whole lot of food! She had two long tables overflowing with all sorts of Filipino favorites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To add to the kare-kare<\/a>, orange chicken, BBQ pork<\/a>, grilled seafood, and whatnot her family prepared, I also made pancit\u00a0palabok<\/a>, baked macaroni<\/a>, and buko pandan<\/a>. Out of all the dishes to choose from, however, what stood out for me was the binagoonan baboy sa gata <\/em>the birthday celebrant herself cooked. I couldn't get enough of the tender pork swimming in a rich coconut sauce; I made multiple trips to the buffet table to replenish my plate.<\/p>\n\n\n

I've made pork binagoongan<\/a> more times than I can count, but I never knew before her party that you could make it with coconut milk. I've definitely made up for lost time, as I\u2019ve cooked the dish at least three times since my delicious discovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The two dishes are actually very similar in preparation and ingredients. Cubed pork belly is first sauteed in onions, garlic, tomatoes, and shrimp paste until nicely browned and then finished off in coconut milk and chili peppers until fork tender. The resulting creamy sauce is pure heaven spooned over steamed rice!<\/p>\n\n\n
