Ingredients

1 kilo pork belly ( sliced into chunks )
5 pieces semi-ripe saba bananas ( sliced into big chunks )
2 small potatoes ( chopped )
2 small carrots ( chopped )
1 medium onion ( minced )
5 cloves garlic ( minced )
3 medium tomatoes ( chopped )
Black pepper to taste
Fish sauce to taste
2 cups water
1 cup tomato sauce
½ tablespoon sugar ( optional )
1 piece pork broth cube
1 cup pork n’ beans
Green beans
1 small cabbage ( roughly cut )
Oil for frying

Steps:

Heat some oil in a pan. Cook bananas until lightly browned then set aside. Saute potatoes and carrots till browned and set aside.
Saute pork until these change in color and the fats start to render. Take these out. In the same pan, saute onions and garlic until aromatic. Place in tomatoes and cook till soft enough to crush.
Add back the seared pork and saute for a minute. Turn the heat to medium-low. Then mix in black pepper, fish sauce and water. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes or till the pork is tender. The fork should easily pierce the pork.
Pour in tomato sauce, sugar, and pork broth cube. Give this a good stir before covering to simmer for 3 – 5 minutes. Add in the pork n’ beans, carrots, potatoes, and bananas. Give it a good mix.
Add in some green beans and small cabbage. Mix till the vegetables are tender before serving.
