Adobong Kangkong (River Spinach)

[ad]

I know that I’ve posted so many recipes, but I just love Filipino food and want to share some great Filipino cuisines to all of you who have never tried it before and maybe give it a go in your own kitchen! This is one of my many favorites and it’s really easy.. the only thing that I would not add is the msg…you can replace that with sea salt and black pepper.  It will still taste just as good.

Thank you again for posting such great recipes Philippines Food & Recipes – I have truly loved all your postings on FB.. =)

Without further a due… here’s the recipe:

Adobong Kangkong is one of the authentic Filipino dishes that is easy and basic to prepare and cook, and you will love this recipe too.  

Adobong Kangkong Ingredients:

* 1 big bowl of kangkong (river spinach)
* 1/4 kilo of pork, cut into small pieces
* 1/4 cup of vinegar
* 1/4 cup soy sauce
* 5 cloves of garlic, minced
* 1 onion, diced
* 2 laurel leaves (bay leaves)
* 1/2 teaspoon of monosodium glutamate (MSG) I would skip this as you add salt/pepper to taste and there is enough salt in either a broth or bouillon.
* 1 cup pork stock (broth) or bouillon pork cube dissolved in water
* Salt and pepper to taste

Adobong Kangkong Cooking Procedure:

1). Saute garlic and onions in a big pan then add the pork. Allow the pork to brown and oil for a few minutes.
