GINATAANG LANGKA RECIPE

INGREDIENTS:

1 ½ kilo fresh langka / jackfruit ( chopped )
400 grams pork belly chunks
Salt and pepper to taste
Ginger ( sliced )
6 cloves garlic ( minced )
1 medium onion ( sliced )
4 medium tomatoes ( chopped )
1 piece pork broth cube
2 cups coconut milk
2 cups coconut cream
Fish sauce to taste
5 – 6 green chillies
Red chillies ( optional )

PROCEDURE:

In a pan, sear the pork chunks in high heat until light brown and most of the fats have rendered. Sprinkle in salt and pepper to taste. Then add in the ginger, garlic, and onion, saute until aromatic.
Add in tomatoes and cook until soft. Then place in the fresh jackfruit. Saute for a bit and add salt and pepper to taste. Place in the broth cube and coconut milk, give it a good stir.
Cover and simmer at medium-low heat for 15 – 20 minutes, or until the jackfruit is tender. Once tender, turn the heat to low and add the green chillies and coconut cream. Simmer until the sauce thickens.
Add as much red chillies as you like for more heat. Give it a taste and add fish sauce for more saltiness and umami. Simmer together before serving.
