Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Lean pork shoulder
- 6 cups Water
- 2 medium, peeled and quartered Potatoes
- 2 medium, peeled and sliced into chunks Carrots
- 1 small, roughly chopped Cabbage
- 150 grams, trimmed Green beans
- 1 medium, quartered Onion
- 1 tablespoon Black peppercorns
- 2 tablespoons Fish sauce
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Pepper
Instructions
Rinse the lean pork shoulder under cold running water. Pat dry and cut into 1-inch cubes.
In a large pot, combine the pork and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, skim off any foam or scum that rises to the surface. This helps keep the broth clear.
Add the quartered onion and black peppercorns to the pot. Reduce heat to a low simmer, cover, and cook for about 45 minutes or until the pork is tender.
Add the quartered potatoes and cook for an additional 10 minutes.
Add the sliced carrots and trimmed green beans. Cook for another 5 minutes.
Stir in the chopped cabbage and simmer for about 5 minutes or until the vegetables are tender but not overcooked.
Season the soup with fish sauce, salt, and ground black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Serve hot in individual bowls, ensuring each serving has a good amount of pork, broth, and vegetables. Enjoy your Low Fat Nilagang Baboy!
