Equipment

Dutch oven, heavy-bottomed pot, or sauté pan

Ingredients

2 pounds pork belly, shoulder, or ribs cut into small pieces
1 bay leaf
6 garlic cloves 2 smashed, 4 minced
1 small onion chopped
2 ripe Roma tomatoes chopped
2-4 red or green chili peppers
½ cup sautéed shrimp paste
1 cup coconut milk or water
Salt and pepper, to taste
Fish sauce, to taste (optional)
Sugar, to taste (optional)
Neutral oil (for sautéing)

Instructions

1. Place the meat in a pot and partially cover it with water. Add the bay leaf, 2 smashed garlic cloves, a generous pinch of salt, and some pepper.
2. Cover and simmer over medium heat for 20-30 minutes until the meat becomes tender and most of the water has evaporated.
3. Uncover and allow the remaining water to evaporate. Render the fat from the pork and lightly brown the meat, tossing it constantly. Be careful, as they may splatter. Transfer them to a plate and remove excess pork fat.
4. In the same pot, sauté the onion and garlic until softened, about 2 minutes. Then add the tomatoes and continue sautéing until they caramelize, about 3 minutes. Add more oil if necessary.
5. Add half of the chili peppers and the shrimp paste, then sauté for about a minute.
6. Add the coconut milk or water, then mix them together while scraping the fond or browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Taste to see if it needs fish sauce or a little sugar to balance the flavors.
7. When it starts to simmer, add the meat and let it cook covered for 5 minutes, allowing it to absorb all the delicious flavors.
8. Add the rest of the chili peppers, then turn off the heat.
