Ingredients
-
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
-
1 small white onion, sliced
-
1 large clove garlic, crushed and chopped
-
½ pound lean ground pork
-
6 tablespoons fish sauce, or to taste
-
ground black pepper to taste
-
1 long green chile - seeded, deveined, and chopped, or more to taste
-
1 ⅓ cups winged beans, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
-
1 cup cream of coconut
Directions
-
Heat oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Sauté onion and garlic until onion begins to turn translucent, about 5 minutes. Add pork; sauté until it starts to whiten, 3 to 5 minutes. Add fish sauce and black pepper. Continue cooking and stirring until pork begins to brown, about 2 minutes more.
-
Stir green chile into the pork mixture; sauté until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add winged beans; cook and stir until bright green, 3 to 5 minutes. Pour in coconut cream; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; let simmer until coconut cream thickens, about 5 minutes more.
Cook’s Note
You can replace the regular garlic with 3 cloves of the smaller native Philippine garlic. Any type of long green chile pepper will do.
The amount of fish sauce to use depends on individual tastes and, even more importantly, the kind of fish sauce that you buy. I find that Philippine fish sauce tends to be saltier than, for example, Thai fish sauce. So, use more or less according to your personal preference.
You can substitute coconut cream with coconut "gata" powder mixed in water to make the same amount.
