Humba

I grew up with this recipe from my dad, this is my own version of "Humba".  I remember when i was a kid I used to watch him prepare menu for parties or even any ordinary days with just using simple ingredients.  Just by merely watching him started my love for cooking..

So lemme share with you our family secret (which is no longer a secret since im going to divulge it anyway:..) my dad's Humba...

Ingredients:

2 klos. of belly (cut into large cubes at least 3 inches wide)

1 big can pineapple tidbits

1 can of sprite

1 can black beans

2 pouch of black pepper corn (minced) 

1/2 cup del Monte Vinegar

1/2 cup soy sauce

4 cloves garlic

2 pcs onions

1 pc ginger (cut into small dice)

salt and pepper to taste
SAUCE MIXTURE:
1/2 cup banana catsup/1/cup water/1 tablespoon flour (just add together for the sauce)

HOW TO PREPARE:
hey guys you should really follow these steps and am gonna show you how...so here it goes:


PORK:
1.  On your wok, deep fry your cubed pork belly until it turns into a little brownish (please do not over fry it,       just enough to get a nice brown color of the meat).

2.  Take all the meat and have it settled first and drain it in a sifting bowl (just drain the excess oil from the meat).


ITS COOKING TIME: (please cook it in a slow fire)
1.  In a cooking pot, add the pork, ginger,garlic, onions, peppercorns, soy sauce, vinegar all together and let it simmer for about 5 minutes until the flavor fuses together.

2.  If the sauce starts to dry up add the pineapple tidbits including its juice, sprite and again let it simmer for another 10 minutes until meat gets tender.

3.  Add salt and pepper to taste

4.  Finally the last step would be to add the sauce mixture and let it boil for 3 minutes  and were done!

We can do this at least once a month i guess...not bad for our healthy living! chow!
