Pork Hamonado
Pork Hamonado is a delicious Filipino dish made with tender pork meat that has been marinated and cooked in a sweet and savory sauce. The pork is typically simmered until it becomes tender and juicy, and then it is glazed with a sticky and caramelized sauce made from a combination of soy sauce, pineapple juice, brown sugar, and spices. It's often served with steamed rice.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds pork shoulder or pork belly sliced into thin strips
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- Pineapple slices (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, black pepper, and salt. Mix well until the sugar has dissolved.
- Place the pork slices in a large resealable bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork, ensuring that it is fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Remove the pork from the marinade, reserving the marinade for later use.
- Fry the marinated pork slices in the hot oil until they are browned and slightly caramelized, about 3-4 minutes per side. Work in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
- Once all the pork slices are cooked, pour the reserved marinade into the pan. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the sauce thickens and coats the pork.
- Serve the Pork Hamonado hot, garnished with pineapple slices if desired. It goes perfectly with steamed rice and some sautéed vegetables.
