Ingredients:

1 kilo of pork meat; cut lengthwise
1/2 cup of Philippine bird's eye pepper (siling labuyo)
3 cups coconut milk
1/2 cup sauted shrimp paste (bagoong alamang)
4 cloves garlic; crushed
1 small onion; chopped

Preparation:

In a saucepan, sauté garlic and onion. Drop the pork and bird’s eye pepper. Continue sauteing until pork starts to render fat and edges turn to brown. Add sauted shrimp paste and stir, then pour the coconut milk (you may pour gradually in preference to the amount of sauce you want). Cook in low fire until pork becomes tender and until a saucy consistency is achieved. Serve hot!
