A traditional Filipino (Asian) dish that tastes so satisfyingly good.
I have tried several Asian dishes using my slow cooker and I have regret, not even once trying them and making them a part of my family menu every month. One reason I try them out is I have Asian friends who are also superstars in their kitchen. They make killer dishes slow cooked or not based on their own native recipes.
Since I have Filipino friends, I have been very intrigued on a lot of the dishes I have tried when they have parties in their homes. Of course, their culture is greatly influenced by the West but you won’t believe how amazing the traditional food they have. I have always admired how they can make anything out of literally any edible ingredient they can get a hold of.
And here is a recipe that make be considered on of their traditional dishes. Every Filipino should and must know this dish. It is a perfect match for rice and gives you that homey comfort food a family will surely enjoy. And did I mention that it is super tender?
Check out the recipe below.
