Sweet n Sour Pork Humba

January 24, 2009

I’m longing to cook humba days ago. But I am so lazy. And today, since I’m so hungry for Pinoy foods, I’ve decided to prepare pork meat. I cooked it for two hours and just mixed it with onion, garlic, vinegar, water, black pepper and soy sauce. I boiled it to the max. I also cook jasmine rice. I also baked some potatoes for my husband. And when the meat is soft, I simmered it and add some brown sugar to make it a bit sticky for the sauce. But, I don’t want it to look like a boiled meat, so I added 1 tbsp of cooking oil since the meat doesn’t have fat. It should be the meat fat that will serve as oil for the humba. When all is cooked, I prepared plate for my husband with the baked potato. I also prepared something for me and I see to it that I have lots of humba sauce. It’s kind of like sweet and sour humba sauce. After preparing it, I decided to eat on the sofa for I know my baby can eat it if he likes since there is no mixture of the foods that he is allergic with. When my baby saw me eating, he immediately sits beside me. After tasting the rice with sweet & sour humba sauce and meat, he sits on my lap. He wants to eat more. He even doesn’t want me to have a bite with the rice and the humba. When everything is gone, he still looks into the bowl since he still wants to eat. He even cried so loud since he is longing for more bite. His daddy said not to give him bunch since he has his dinner and his snacks already. And it’s not good to over feed him. Well, there are some left over in which I can give him tomorrow. I’m sure, he will love it!

Note: Thanks to lady norms for giving me a hint in taking a picture of my cooked humba so that I can post it here.
