Instructions
Preparation:
Wash and pat dry pork meat, usually the pigue part.
- In a large mixing bowl, put the pork meat, then add lemon or calamansi juice, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and ground black pepper. Mix until well combined. Marinate for 1 to 2 hours at least.
While marinating the meat, prepare all the ingredients, like garlic and onion, for sauteing.

- Open the lid and add tomato paste and bay leaves. Stir.
- Add 2 cups of water, cover the lid and simmer for 20 minutes or until the meat is tender.
When the pork is tender, turn off the heat and remove the meat from the pan, putting it on the chopping board. While the sauce is still in the pan, transfer it to the container and set it aside.
Note: Let the pork cool down before slicing it into chunky pieces.- In the same pan, add 3 tbsp. of oil and heat it, then put in the pork slices. Pan-fried it, one side at a time, until it turned light brown.
- Add the sauce previously set aside. Add liver spread, sugar, and 1 cup of water. Stir fry over low to medium heat.
- When the sauce becomes slightly thick, add the shredded cheese and stir. Adjust the taste as necessary.
- Transfer to a serving plate. Serve immediately with warm rice. Happy cooking. Share and enjoy eating.
