To start from the beginning on how I acquired this recipe I would have to start with telling yall about my father. He was born and raised in the Philippines in the capital city Manila and came to American many years ago. When it comes to making my Filipino dishes I always have to have the okay from my father and step mom who has tasted the traditional recipes for themselves in Manila.
Although I will say I have my own reference of how these dishes are supposed to taste from when I tasted them myself back in 2004. I spent my summer in the Philippines and loved every moment of it in my home country. Although this recipe is the same as my father’s recipe he was shocked to find out I made it in 45 minutes flat. This dish is a 2-3 hour simmer dish that is rarely made due to the fact it takes so long. Now that we have found a way to make it in under an hour I can see us making this very often for our big family dinners.
