Sautéed Bean Sprouts (with Pork)

When I was in Philippines on vacation, as much as possible I
would like to eat Filipino Food that I can’t eat while I’m working
overseas.  And when I’m in the Philippines
I rarely cook and I want to eat what my Mom cook coz’ I miss the taste.  It’s like being a child again.  One time she cooked Sautéed Bean Sprouts or
what call Toge in the Philippines.  Oh
boy, what a treat.     

Anyway, here is how my Mom cooked Sautéed Bean Sprouts with
Pork.

Here are the
ingredients my Mom used:

¼ kilo of
pork belly

¼ kilo of
strings beans

2 pieces of
carrots cut in strips

Fish sauce
(measurement according to your taste)

1 whole big
onion

1 small
packet of Ginisa Mix (Optional, replace it with salt and pepper)

½ cloves of
garlic, chopped

½ kilo of
Bean Sprouts

Olive oil
for sautéing

How my Mom cooked it:

1.  On a pan, pour few tablespoons of olive oil
and when it’s hot enough stir fry the garlic then add the onions.  Like me, my Mom prefer not to overcook the
onions because she knew I like it little bit crunchy

2.  The next step is to add the sliced Pork Belly,
sauté it with the garlic and onions then add the ginisa mix.

3.  Before you add the veggies make sure your
pork is cooked by getting one piece and taste it, which is the only way you’ll
know if it’s cooked or not.

4.  When pork is cooked, add the carrots and string
beans.  After few minutes of stir frying
it, add the bean sprouts and cook it for few minutes. I prefer that my bean
sprouts is half cooked.

Voila!  That’s how my Mom cooked it.
