PORK HUMBA

One of our Classic Visayan Filipino Recipes,,,  i have seen a lot of different versions of this recipe but this is how my maternal grandmother make it :)

INGREDIENTS
2 lbs pork belly cut into cubes
1 cup white vinegar
1 cup soy sauce
1 1/2 cup brown sugar
5 cloves crushed garlic
4 bay leaves
1 small can salted black beans (drained and rinsed)
1/2 cup dried banana blossoms (optional)
2 Tablespoons crushed peppercorns

Season the pork with a little salt and pepper then cook it in a wok until it will get brown and the pork fat starts to come out. In a bowl,  add all the ingredients except for the black beans and mix it until the sugar dissolves . Then add the sauce mix to the pork and let it simmer for 45 minutes to an hour or until the sauce becomes sticky then drain, rinse the black beans then mix it to the pork. Serve it with rice :)
