Pork and baguio beans with oyster sauce
November 19, 2009 • Hello. I am currently out of the country and unable to respond to comments and e-mails. Rest assured, however, that future posts have been scheduled so new recipes will go live almost everyday during my absence. I'll be back soon with lots of stories and photos. Ciao for now! ~ ConnieYou will need pre-cooked pork belly (you may have to read this for proper context, about 250 grams of baguio beans, a small carrot, a whole head of garlic, an onion, soy sauce, lots of freshly ground pepper, oyster sauce and sesame seed oil.
Cut the cooked pork belly into 1-inch cubes (cooked meat is easier to cut after it has been chilled).
Trim the ends and edges of the beans and cut diagonally into 1-inch lengths.
Peel the carrot and julienne. “Julienne” means to cut into matchsticks.
Crush, peel and finely minced the garlic. Coarsely chop the onion.
Heat about 4 tablespoonfuls of vegetable cooking oil in a wok or frying pan. Add the pork (there will be lots of spattering so have the cover ready) and cook over high heat until the edges are lightly browned. You don’t have to keep stirring. Cover the wok or pan loosely to avoid too much mess. By “loosely”, I mean there should be sufficient opening to allow the steam to escape. Stir every few minutes.
When the pork is done, add the onion and garlic. Season with soy sauce and pepper. Cook for about a minute then add the julienned carrot and green beans. Cook, stirring, for about a minute. Add 2-3 tablespoonfuls of oyster sauce. Stir. Lower the heat, cover and cook for 2-3 minutes.
Taste a piece of pork with some vegetables. Add more soy sauce and pepper, if you prefer. Turn off the heat. Drizzle some sesame seed oil over the cook dish. Toss a few times and serve hot with rice.

hi!
i can relate to the dish.
my mom always cooks this, she’s invented a lot of cheap and delicious recipes to fill seven tummies everyday. from ginisang ampalaya, repolyo, petsai, kangkong, sitaw, etc… she uses oyster sauce even with pinakbet.
may kakaibang sarap nga ang ulam pag dinagdagan ng oyster sauce.:grin:
This looks good!!! I need to try it this weekend
i like the combo of pork belly and green beans and your sooo right about the combination of soy sauce and oyster sauce 
its delicious 
Keep up with the recipes Connie…i even like just looking at the pic sometimes 
kagabi lang ay nagluto ako ng gisadong baguio beans at giniling na baboy. napakasimpleng lutuin pero isa sa mga paborito ng asawa ko. usually toyo lang o asin ang nilalagay ko. try ko nga lagyan ng oyster sauce sa sunod. salamat sa tip. hehe
what brand of oyster sauce do you use? thank you!
My husband loves guisado dishes. He actually enjoys more veggies and less meat. It’s quick, healthy and cheap.
I remember our neighbor from Wales, UK said that they also do this kind of cooking because meat is expensive there.
phynkee, oyster sauce with pinakbet sounds wonderful!
ellen, nakakagutom ba o nakakabusog yung pics? hehehe
you’re welcome, cel.
ana, Lee Kum Kee.
KK, dito naman pag ganitong summer and the heat is really a killer, too much meat gives me indigestion. Parang ang hirap tunawin. Light meals are so much better.
thanks ms. connie for giving me an idea on what to cook tonight at dinner. I was thinking of a meal that is easy to cook and easy on the budget… we have a few spanish sardines and tomato based sardines in our cupboard. any suggestions on how to make it a little more exciting? thanks…
To answer your question Connie….sobrang nakakagutom ang mga pics mo!
It makes me want to cook the dish! hehe
joy, click here.
Ellen, ah great! It means nakaka-encourage magluto.
ms connie,
this is another easy and cost effective recipe! often times, when i buy green beans, they’re already pre-packed. and one packed is really good for two recipes, but i only use green beans when i make nilaga/bulalo and the left over green beans gets forgotten in the fridge and will eventually go to waste. but now with this quick green beans and pork recipe, for sure hindi na masasayang yung left overs! thank u for another wonderful idea!
Whenever I cook using soy sauce, I always add a little oyster sauce in it. It really adds flavor. I even use oyster sauce in cooking adobo and marinating pork BBQ (with a little sugar).
