Bicol Express I

This is the signature dish of the Bicol Province in the Southeastern part of Luzon. A cuisine known for its generous use of hot chili peppers and coconut milk. Reducing the amount of chili peppers will lower the heat, if you’re not into spicy food.

  • 2 lbs. pork belly or pork butt, cut into cubes
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 2 tbsp. oil
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tomato, sliced
  • 4 to 6 green chili pepper, seeded and thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp. shrimp paste
  • 1 can (400 ml) coconut milk
  • steamed rice, to serve
