pork balatong

Re: pork balatong

Ok just to update people. My wife liked what I made.

This past week I cheated and simplified the recipe further:
mongo
chicken broth
garlic
patis
cooked onions

And that was it. Close. Meatless. I don't know if it was more healthy. The chicken broth was 100% fat free. I probably went over the sodium limit though.

So shouldn't it be called Pescador Balatong, then? Especially since it didn't have any pork? (was mostly mongo onion soup then eh? throw in da pig's feet next time! )

He can call it anything he wants...a healthy substitute. I like your idea of Pig's Feet mungo. I prefer chicharon and whole shrimp with paria or tancong leaves in mine.

Wouldn't Pescador Balatong be Fisherman Mongo?

My first try I cheated too. I put Chinese Roast Pork. That one had tomato. I usually have cherry tomatoes around but we are defrosting the freezer so we didn't by more. Oh yeah I also put ong choi in it.

Please put up your recipe variations.

I was thinking of making balatong with spam, ham or bacon.

Re: pork balatong

Stick to the basic, the pig feet one, chicharon, shrimp or chicken. Let me know if you experimented with the others...it would be interesting to ee if it worked.

Re: pork balatong

it's the same. difference is the whole "green" or the half "yellowish" which is better and faster to prepare...it's cleaned, still have to rinse. the whole one needs to be soaked and the skin that floats up needs to be thrown away. it needs to dome until there is a minimal amount left.
