VEGETABLE STEW WITH PORK IN OYSTER SAUCE

Rummaging through the vegetable shelf of our refrigerator I saw a bundle of baguio beans, 2 pieces of chayote and carrots which has been there for more than a week. There was also some pork barbeque which was not consumed just enough to supply the meat for my recipe. I was thinking of cooking pancit bihon but tomorrow my family will also be cooking pancit (noodle) and spaghetti for my son-in-law's birthday. So I decided to make a stew from some overstaying veggies and leftover pork barbeque, actually the barbeque was pan fried not grilled but with barbeque marinade.

Ingredients:

1 clove garlic minced
1 onion sliced thinly
4 tomatoes sliced
1 thumb size ginger minced
20 baguio beans sliced
1-2 carrots diced
2 chayote sliced into bite size cut
1/2 kilo pork cut into cube
2 tablespoon oyster sauce
3 cups water or pork stock
3 tablespoon of patis (fish sauce)
1 teaspoon of ground black pepper
1 teaspoon any food seasoning (optional)
salt to taste

Procedure:

Saute garlic until brownish then put onion until it becomes translucent followed by tomatoes and finally ginger. Stir-fry the baguio beans, carrots and chayote for a few minutes together with the first ingredients and add the fish sauce while stir-frying. Finally, pour water or pork stock add also pepper, seasoning and the oyster sauce and put the pork as well then let boil. Once in a while check if vegetables and meat are tender enough to eat.

HAPPY EATING!!!
