A Flavorful Dish: Pork Guisado

‎Typically, pork, carrots, and potatoes are paired with tomato sauce to become a menudo or mechado.
‎
‎However, today, I didn't have any tomato sauce.
‎
‎So I turned to TikTok, searching for other ways to make a flavorful dish with the ingredients I had on hand.
‎
‎After browsing through several videos, a recipe caught my eye.
‎
‎It is called pork guisado. It uses other available ingredients like sauces and broth to create a delicious dish without the tomato sauce.
‎
‎Ingredients:
‎
‎• 1 lb pre-boiled pork (cut into bite-sized pieces)
‎• 3 medium potatoes
‎• 4 small carrots
‎• 2 onions
‎• 4 garlic cloves
‎• 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
‎• 1 Knorr cube (pork flavor)
‎• salt and pepper to taste
‎• 2 tablespoons cooking oil
‎• 1 cup water

‎Preparation:
‎
‎I started by heating oil in a pan, adding the potatoes and carrots, and sautéing them until they became slightly tender.

Afterward, I set the vegetables aside, and then add the chopped onions and garlic.

‎Once fragrant and golden, I added the already-boiled pork.

Next, I returned the sauteed potatoes and carrots and mixed everything well.

Then, I poured in oyster sauce, Knorr cubes, and water, to create a savory broth. I also seasoned it with salt and pepper to taste, ensuring everything was well combined. Next, I covered it and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes.

‎Once the pork became tender and the vegetables soaked up the flavors, I turned off the heat and transferred it into a bowl.

And that's it!
‎
‎This dish was irresistible and a satisfying meal.
‎
‎Just make sure to serve it warm for a flavorful bite. ☺️
‎
‎Until my next delicious dish...
‎
‎Thanks for the visit! Have a lovely day. Buh-bye. 💗🌸
