Greetings everyone especially the @qurator community.
Yesterday was our big boss payday (my partner) and this is what I love payday it's the time we can treat ourselves and I want the family to enjoy good food on the following day to share. Today is a happy day for us and I'm cooking HUMba.
It's a happy day because we only make good food like this dish today whenever we have the extra budget because honestly cooking this type of dish will cost us a bit.
I'm making Humba not just to feed my family and just to have content but also to introduce it to the world.
"Humba" is derived from our Visayan dialect which means HUM (HUMok) in English tender and Ba(Baboy) in English pork so it's Tender Pork and I'm cooking this Humba my way. Some of us usually do the easiest way like putting all the ingredients together all the way and then cook but me, I'm cooking it in two ways.
, let's start!
For the ingredients
- 1-kilo pork
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons salted black beans
- 1 pack seasoning
- 1 onion
- 3 cloves of garlic
- 1 pack asocena (dried Lily flowers)
- 1 pack of bay leaves
- black pepper
- 2 cups water
- oil and salt (for frying)
Cooking procedure
I start the cooking procedure by washing the meat and slicing it into the desired piece since I forgot to let the vendor cut it. After, I cleaned and slice the onion and garlic and prepare the other ingredients for cooking.
I simmer the marinated meat with a pinch of salt first and add oil when the juice reduces. I fried until golden brown but in my case today I think I over fried the meat. I like making it this way because after frying you can remove some of the excess oils from the pork before cooking it with the main ingredients.
After frying, time for the second round. In the same pan (it's the only non-stick pan I have) I separate the excess oil and put it back and time to combine the ingredients.
I just add all the ingredients and cook slowly on medium heat until tender.
After 20 minutes my Humba is done.
Did you know that humba are traditionally served on every special occasions here like birthdays, weddings and most especially fiestas? Luckily I learned how to cook humba early maybe someday I can organize big events and I can cook humba personally for them.
