Binagoongang Baboy recipe is pork belly boiled in spices and sautéed in onion, garlic and shrimp paste. Bagoong or binagoongang means shrimp paste and if you are not Filipino, the pungent smell can be unpleasant to others.

In this binagoongang Baboy recipe, I used bottled shrimp paste that is already cooked. Serve this delicious dish with lots of rice, a side of steamed okra or talong (eggplant).

Bottled shrimp paste sold here in the U.S. are already cooked. I usually get Kamayan, Barrio Fiesta or Tropics. Even though it's cooked, I still saute it in onion and garlic and it is more flavorful. Once cool, I put it back in the bottle it came with.

My mom used to make bagoong and it was really good. She cooked it with fried cubed pork fat and sautéed in onion and garlic. It was so delicious.

Shrimp paste is salty and to make it a little bit healthier, I eliminated the delicious fried pork fat. Regardless, it is still deliciously good.

When making Binagoongang Bahoy or Pork Binagoongang you can use lean pork, but I recommend that you use pork belly.

As much as possible, I seldom use pork belly in my cooking but this dish is way more flavorful if made with pork belly.

You can compromise, instead of using 2 pounds of pork belly, you could do 1 pound pork belly and 1 pound pork shoulder. So it is up to you.

Just eat this wonderful dish in moderation so you don’t feel deprived.

FYI, when preparing pork belly, it is the same procedure when making Lechon Kawali or Sisig. You can boil extra pork belly and place it in the fridge if cooking soon or in the freezer for later use.

It will save you some time if you have a craving for these 2 dishes. Talking about healthy?

So anyway, this is a simple dish but delicious. Luckily, I am in my own house with very good ventilation and no one can complain about the smell. I still don’t get it, it smells so good.
