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. 💗🌸
