Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs pork shoulder or butt, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 3 tbsp shrimp paste (bagoong alamang)
- ¼ cup white vinegar
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 medium yellow onion, sliced thin
- ¾ cup water
- 1 tbsp fish sauce
Instructions
- 1
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork and brown, stirring occasionally, until edges sear, ~5 minutes.
- 2
Add garlic and onion. Stir until fragrant and onion softens, ~2 minutes.
- 3
Stir in shrimp paste, breaking it up with the spoon so it dissolves into the pork.
- 4
Pour in vinegar and water. Bring to a simmer and cook until pork is fork-tender, ~10 minutes.
- 5
Taste and add fish sauce and salt to balance. The sauce should be savory, salty, and tangy.
- 6
Serve hot over white rice with a squeeze of fresh lime if you have it.
