Humba

HUMBA

1/2 kilo pork belly
1 cup Datu Puti vinegar
1 cup Silver Swan soy sauce
2 tsp. sugar
3 stalks of spring onions
some garlic
some pepper

how: place all the ingredients in a pot and bring to boil. Once boiling, set to low for 20-30 mins.

tips: I love to add some hard boiled eggs in it, shelled it and put it in 5 minutes before the Humba is done

When I was yet in the Philippines, one of the least things that I would try is cooking. Just why? I can't handle criticism. He-he-he! But the irony is, I love eating and I know how some foods supposed to taste.

Few weeks after I arrived here in Michigan, I started to craved my favorite Filipino dishes. My best friend, Ann, whom I chat to almost every night, suggested to me to try to cook "Humba". It's one of my favorite. She gave me the recipe and instructions. I tried it. To my surprise, it did good. I did good! I can't believe it.

Hi Grace! I wanted to email you but couldn't find yr email anywhere so I'm writing here. Thank you for visiting these past times. My daughter & I read down to this post so tonight, we will try to cook "Humba" which is very similar to a Chinese dish. I'm Chinese & my husband's German. I hope Datu Puti vinegar is the brown vinegar as I hv that. Will let you know how it goes!
