"What's for dinner honey?"
This is an everyday question either from me or from my husband. Well, for tonight I decided to cook vegetable for dinner and my husband suggested Ampalaya Con Karne. He was in-charge of the grocery and chopping preparation (aside from his everyday task of steaming our rice =D). My husband also sautéd the pork already. So, when I came home everything were prepared - ready to cook!
Ingredients:
1/4 Kg Pork
3 Ampalaya
2 beaten eggs
1 Big tomato chopped
1 onion chopped
1 Garlic chopped
Salt/Fish Sauce (patis) and Pepper to taste
1 tablespoon Pork/Beef Stock powder (or 1 cube)
Cooking oil
Procedure:
1. Cut ampalaya length wise & remove the seed. Slice to thin cut size.
Tip : To eliminate the bitter taste, add some salt, lightly squeeze, drain the juice and wash with water.
2. In a separate cooking pan, sauté the chopped pork add salt. Cooked till golden brown. Set aside.
3. In a hot oil pan, sauté the garlic, onion, tomato.
4. When the tomato become creamy put the ampalaya and pork.
