Pork Sorpotel

Ingredients

• 1.5 lb pork shoulder
• 6 dried red chilies
• 2 medium onion
• 6 cloves garlic
• 1 inch ginger
• ¼ cup cider vinegar
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• 1 tsp salt

Instructions

1. 1

   Cut the 1.5 lb pork shoulder into 1-inch cubes. In a pot, cover with water and boil until tender, about 20 minutes. Reserve 1 cup of the cooking liquid.

2. 2

   In a blender, combine the 6 dried red chilies (soaked in hot water for 10 minutes), 2 chopped onions, 6 garlic cloves, 1 inch ginger, and 0.25 cup cider vinegar. Blend into a smooth paste.

3. 3

   Heat the 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the spice paste and cook, stirring, until fragrant and the oil separates, about 5 minutes.

4. 4

   Add the boiled pork cubes and 1 tsp salt to the skillet. Stir to coat with the paste.

5. 5

   Pour in the reserved 1 cup pork cooking liquid. Simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and clings to the pork, about 10 minutes. The pork should be glossy and the sauce reduced.

6. 6

   Taste and adjust salt or vinegar if needed. Serve hot with rice or bread.
