| Sauteed String beans (Ginisang Sitaw) |
A very popular dish for Filipinos. Usually eaten with fried fish or by itself. It is so easy to prepare and is not hard on the budget. I remember my mom would always have this as an option if she couldn't decide on what to cook for the day. I used ground pork for this recipe but you may use shrimps as well.
Ingredients:
-500 gms string beans or sitaw cut into 2-3 inch long
-125 gms of ground pork
-1 medium tomato (diced)
-1 medium onion (sliced)
-3 cloves garlic (minced)
-2 tbsp fish sauce (patis)
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
-1/2 cup water
- 1 tsp ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp cooking oil
Procedure:
- Heat oil in a pan or wok
- Saute garlic, onion and tomato
- Add ground pork and stir in fish sauce and pepper until the pork turns its color to grayish brown.
- Add soy sauce
- Cover the pan and lower the heat (lowest) and simmer for 3-5 mins. This will bring out the flavor of the pork and infuse it with the fish sauce. (Our lola's secret)
- Add the string beans, stir gently then pour in the water.
- Cover for another 5 to 10 minutes or until the string beans is cooked.
- serve and enjoy!
