Bicol Express 2 – Pinoy Food Recipe


As we ate our lunch this afternoon, I’ve been thinking about creating a blog post about this Pinoy Food recipe because this food is quite similar on our dish during lunch time. This is the second time to post recipe for this Pinoy Food. If you want to read the first one click here: Bicol Express – Pinoy Food Recipe. This one is also my favorite. But it should be cooked perfectly. This Pinoy Food recipe should be hot enough to be appreciated. But don’t put a lot of chilli on your ingredients because it might ruin the whole recipe and nobody would eat it. Here is the Pinoy food Recipe for Bicol Express.

Ingredients:
1 ½ Lbs. Pork belly cut in 1 in. cubes

1 Lb. Calabaza cut in 1 ½ in. cubes

1 Large ginger peeled & sliced thinly

2 Cans of Coconut milk 13.5 oz each

1 Large onion diced

4 Cloves of garlic peeled & smashed

1 Tsp. Ground black pepper

½ Tsp. MSG – optional

36 Pcs. Thai-peppers, stems removed

6 Finger peppers Siling mahaba cut in ¼ in. pieces, discard stems

Corn oil for sauteing

Green Onions for garnish

Note: Thai, Birds Eye, and Siling Labuyo are the same

Procedure:
In a large pot heat 1 Tbs. of corn oil and saute garlic until golden brown. Next add pork belly, season it with salt, and saute it for 3 minutes on medium heat. Add onions and ginger root and let it cook for 2 minutes. Add coconut milk, ground black pepper, msg, finger peppers, and Thai-peppers. Stir well and let it simmer for 25 minutes on medium low heat, stirring occasionally to avoid scorching. Then add calabaza and let it cook for ten minutes or until calabaza is tender. Adjust taste by adding salt & pepper if needed! Serve rice topped with Bicol Express & garnish with green onions. Enjoy & Feel the Heat!..

Note:

On this particular recipe I have my ginger root sliced in larger pieces so I can remove them before serving. However if you want to serve yours with ginger root you may so by slicing it in smaller pieces (julliene).
