Pork Nilaga

Kahit mainit ang panahon, mainit pa rin ang ulam? Yes mamshie! Minsan masarap yung tumatagaktak ang pawis habang kumakain, diba? So for today’s ulam: Pork Nilaga.

For me, this is the easiest dish to cook because as the name implies : Nilaga which means to “boil” — you just have to boil everything and it becomes this tasty soup dish

To be honest, it’s my first time to cook Nilaga using pork kasim. I always use parts that has bones in them to make sure it’s flavorful. Just like these two dishes below: Instant Pot Beef Nilaga and Nilagang Tuhod ng Baka.

Pork Nilaga

The usual vegetables that I put in my Pork Nilaga are squash, corn, cabbage, and pechay. But there are times when I also add saging na saba and baguio beans. I’ve seem other Nilaga dishes where they put potato instead of squash — try ko nga yon next time but I’ll try purple sweet potato instead para colorful…hihihi.

Kayo, anong nilalagay nyo sa Nilaga nyo?
