An umami bomb! Our Pork Binagoongan features crispy-tender pork belly pieces sautéed and simmered in a potent, savory sauce made from fermented shrimp paste (bagoong), vinegar, garlic, and chilies. A quintessential Pinoy comfort food for true Filipino food lovers.
Pork Binagoongan is a dish that celebrates one of the Philippines’ most beloved condiments: bagoong (fermented shrimp paste). It’s a powerful dish with a uniquely salty, savory, and slightly sweet flavor profile.
We start by frying the pork belly until it has a beautiful, tender-crisp texture. Then, we sauté it with garlic, onions, and the star ingredient, the shrimp paste, often adding a touch of vinegar and sugar for balance. The resulting dish is incredibly aromatic and intensely flavorful—a perfect expression of Filipino umami that pairs impeccably with rice.
