Filipino Pork BBQ recipe

Posted on by M Artisans

I will regularly update this recipe with different versions of Pinoy-style BBQ 🙂

so pls like and subscribe!

What is “Filipino Pork BBQ”?

  • marinated slices of pork meat in bamboo skewers and grilled to yummy-ness (so all you need is to grab as much BBQ sticks as you want and enjoy:)

We Filipinos have two distinct flavors in our palates – Sweet and Salty. And I think we have perfected our recipes to fuse these two great flavors, which makes this dish very delish!

And one tip – I like to dip this BBQ with spicy vinegar (pinakurat -local vinegar with spices like garlic, red chilies and pepper)

okay here’s the recipe…

prep time: a day (skewering takes forever!)

good for at least 4 hungry tummies

what you need:

  • 2 lbs pork (use butt or belly just remove the skin) sliced
  • 1 cup soy sauce
  • lemon juice or calamansi (our local lime)
  • 1 cup banana ketchup
  • 1 small garlic, peeled and smashed
  • 1 small onion minced
  • 1/2 cup Sprite or 7UP
  • 5 tbsps dark brown sugar
  • salt and pepper to taste

combine all these ingredients, yes with the pork, in a mixing bowl, as if you’re massaging the meat being prepped for grilling 🙂

I suggest marinating the pork overnight. this will ensure that flavors will be absorbed completely by the meat. If you’re in a hurry you can marinate for at least 1 hour.

this BBQ is actually easy to make, its the marinating and skewering that takes long. You can always skip the skewering process. But this dish is well-known as BBQ sticks and I grew up with these yummies, helping my nanay in our humble kitchen. And tasting is my field of expertise 🙂

the hardest part – skewering the pork slices using bamboo sticks or skewers (kebab-like)

grill the pork and baste each side with the left over marinade.

and these mouth-watering Pinoy BBQ sticks are ready to serve!

🙂

enjoy my lovelies!

Simple “Bagoong” (Shrimp paste) Fried Rice – Recipe

Posted on by M Artisans

Here’s a super simple – no fuss – Bagoong fried rice recipe that you can cook in a snap, but you must have at least 3 tablespoons of a good shrimp paste, I think you can purchase a bottle from groceries. I used here the one my “Nanay” (grandmom) made for me. I believe it took me about 15 minutes or less to cook this fried rice. Pair it with your main course like pork adobo or roasted pork ribs makes a fantastic meal.

I adopted this recipe from a Thai dish I tasted and adjusted it a little. I’m sure you will like this version of mine plus you get to use your left-over rice, nothing gets wasted and everyone’s happy. Even happier after they try this 🙂

prep time:less than 15 minutes / good for 2-3 pax

  • 3 tbsp bagoong (shrimp paste) – but you can add some more if you desire 🙂
  • 3 tbsp oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 eggs (scrambled and fried then cut into strips)
  • 3 cups day-old rice
  • 1 tsp soy sauce
  • salt/pepper to taste (optional)

Begin, by heating the oil in a frying pan.

Add garlic, and fry until golden brown.

Put the bagoong (shrimp paste) and let it simmer a little then add the left-over rice.

Mix the rice and bagoong, marry them with flavors while adding a teaspoon of soy sauce.

lastly, bring in the strips of fried egg. add pepper/salt as you like.

combine…

and it’s now ready,

just like that,

enjoy 🙂
