Cooking Blog: First Time Cooking Pork Pochero and Beans

Hello, how are you? Whenever my cousin comes into my room with his phone with his TikTok blasting on the speaker, I just know he will request a food that he is curious about, and I was like, okay, let's do that LOL. I will list the ingredients, and he will buy them at the market.

Sometimes, having my cousin here live with us is much easier because he always has food requests that we never tried or tried a long time ago, so yeah, kudos to him.

So what I am going to cook today is Pork Pochero. This is my first time cooking this

---

Ingredients I Used:

---

Let's Cook!

In a hot pan, I added half a cup of cooking oil.

---

Then I added the potatoes, carrots, and banana (saba). I was in a hurry, so I fried them at the same time for about when browning started to appear on the veggies.

---

After that, I reduced the oil in the pan and left about a tablespoon, and then I added the pork cuts to the pan and cooked them for about 10 minutes. I like the pork crispy.

---

Then I added about 1/4 teaspoon of ground pepper for aroma.

---

After that, I am going to add the garlic and red onion and sautee them for about a minute or until the fragrance of the aromatics comes out.

---

Then I added the chopped tomatoes, cooking until the texture is mushy and soft.

---

Then, after that, I added 250g of tomato sauce into the pan and mixed everything until well combined.

---

I added 5 cups of water, or enough to drown the meat.

---

Then, to add more flavor to the food, I added a pork broth cube into the pan.

---

After that, I added two tablespoons of fish sauce.

---

Then let it cook for about 30 minutes with the lid on.

---

After that, I am going to add 100 g of hunts pork and beans into the pan.

---

Then I am going to add the carrots, potatoes, and bananas (saba) into the pan.

---

And then next is the cabbage and the long string beans.

---

I added more water to the pan so that the veggies would cook, so yeah, add water if necessary. I cook it for about 5 minutes untouched.

---

And then after 5 minutes, I mix them all and then cook them again for about 5 minutes, and add more water if necessary.

---

Then, to finish it up, I added about a teaspoon of all-in-one seasoning.

---

Serve hot and plated. Happy Eating!
