Introduction
Pork Afritada, or Afritadang Baboy, is a hearty and tangy Filipino stew that warms the soul with its rich tomato-based sauce, tender pork, and colorful vegetables. This classic lutong bahay (home-cooked) dish is beloved across the Philippines for its bold flavors, sweet-and-savory notes, and comforting aroma. Perfect with steamed rice, it’s a staple on family tables and easy enough for any home cook to master. Join me as I share my tried-and-true recipe from Minang’s Kitchen!
📝 Ingredients (Serves 4-6)
- 500 grams pork kasim (pork shoulder, cut into 1.5-inch cubes)
- 5 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 large white onion (chopped)
- 1 medium red bell pepper (sliced)
- 1 medium green bell pepper (sliced)
- 1 medium carrot (cubed)
- 1 large potato (cubed)
- 1/4 cup green peas (fresh or frozen)
- 2 bay leaves
- 5-6 tbsp cooking oil
- 1/2 cup tomato sauce
- 2 tsp soy sauce
- 1/2 tsp salt (or to taste)
- 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 pork cube (or 1 tsp Knorr pork powder)
- 2 ½ tsp sugar
- 3–3 ½ cups water
👨🍳 How to Cook Pork Afritada: Step-by-Step
Step 1: Sear the Pork
- Heat oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
- Add pork kasim and sear until golden brown (about 5 minutes per side).
- Remove pork and set aside.
Step 2: Sauté Aromatics
- In the same pot, sauté minced garlic and chopped onion until fragrant (2 minutes).
- Return pork to the pot and mix well.
Step 3: Add Sauce and Liquids
- Pour in tomato sauce and soy sauce. Stir to combine.
- Add pork cube, salt, black pepper, and sugar. Mix thoroughly.
- Pour in 3 cups of water and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes until pork is tender.
Step 4: Add Vegetables
- Add carrots and potatoes. Simmer for 10 minutes.
- Stir in bell peppers and green peas. Cook for 5–7 minutes until veggies are crisp-tender.
- Adjust seasoning (add more salt/sugar if needed).
- If sauce is too thick, add up to ½ cup more water.
Step 5: Serve!
Garnish with spring onions (optional). Serve hot over steamed rice. 🍚✨
💡 Pro Tips from Minang
- Pork Alternatives: Use pork belly for richer flavor or chicken for Afritadang Manok.
- Make it Spicy: Add 1–2 sliced chilies (siling labuyo) for a fiery kick!
- Extra Umami: Stir in 1 tbsp oyster sauce during the final simmer.
- Storage: Keeps in the fridge for 3 days or freezes for 1 month. Flavors deepen overnight!
❤️ Why You’ll Love This Recipe
