Express from Bicol



Ingredients:

* 1/4 kilo of Pork liempo – sliced into 1/2 inch strips
* 4 cups of Long green chili – pepper, seeded and julliened-or more depends on yout "hot" meter
* 1 cup of Alamang – fresh(Balao from Bicol is still the best)
* 1.5 cups of Water
* 1.5 cups of Coconut cream (separate kakang gata-first squeeed juice from the coconut)
Pork cubes



Soak Long green chili peppers in salted water for 30 minutes, rinse, then strain well.
In a pan,combine water,pork, and alamang.
Bring to a boil and then lower the fire and let simmer for 10 minutes.
Add long green chili peppers Pour in coconut milk and cook until it produces more oil.

In Bicol pork is not the main ingredient of this dish but chili. Pork mainly is just a saute ingredient and the main star is still chili! Cooking it varies for me depending on who will be eating it.

Serve hot
