Lasang Pinoy 22 Entry-Binagoongan Rice



Through the kindness of another food blogger, Gay of A Scientist in the Kitchen, I discovered this blogging event called Lasang Pinoy 22, the Rice Challenge. If you read through her comments section, you’ll discover a person nice enough to help another. Thanks Gay! So, here I am, RICING to the occasion with my recipe for binagoongan rice. I am providing a recipe for that here but check out my shrimp fried rice recipe for a discussion of the Filipino rice culture and another way to make use of leftover rice.

Binagoongan Rice

Makes 4 Servings

Ingredients

4 cups cold rice
1 to 1 1/2 cups binagoongan baboy

Procedure

In a wide pan or skillet, heat oil. Add rice and saute until loosened.

Add binagoongan na baboy mixture, stirring until well combined. Continue to cook for an additional 3 to 5 minutes until rice is completely heated through. Serve hot with broiled fish of choice.

Binagoongan Baboy (will yield more than needed for binagoongan rice recipe)

2 lbs pork belly, sliced into 1-inch cubes
4 to 5 tomatoes, diced
1/3 cup shrimp paste
1 onion, peeled and diced
3 to 4 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
1 cup vinegar
1 tsp sugar
2 cups water
vegetable oil
salt and pepper

In a pot, heat oil. Saute onions and garlic until fragrant. Add in pork cubes and continue to cook until browned and lightly toasted, stirring occasionally to prevent from burning.

Add in shrimp paste. Saute until shrimp paste slightly darkens in color.

Toss in tomatoes. Continue to cook until tomatoes are softened, squishing regularly with back of spoon.

Pour in vinegar. Allow to a slow boil for around 3 to 5 minutes. Pour in water. Stir in sugar. Add in chilies. Lower heat, cover and simmer until sauce is reduced and pork is fork-tender.

Adjust seasonings with salt and pepper to taste.

    omg, two of my favorite things in one dish! :)

    Welcome to Lasang Pinoy, thanks for submitting an entry. This is great! I just tried making binagoongan for the first time not too long ago. Next time I’ll have to remember to make this with the left over!

    Hello, Racquel. Kumusta na?
    I really appreciate the overwhelming support and interest our highschool group has extended to me and my little “pet”. The site is pretty new (2 months old) but I am just so excited to see how far I can drive it. Keeps my fire burning, that’s for sure!
    Happy holidays to you and your family!

    Jmom,

    Thank you for allowing me to be a part of a community that shares my passions. What a better way to start a Lasang Pinoy relationship but with rice? Thanks again. Happy holidays!

    Hi, Lalaine!

    I just had binagoongan for dinner tonight - in fact, it was a leftover from today’s lunch. Yum! Thank you for participating and welcome to Lasang Pinoy! Hope to see you in the future events . . . :-)

    Thank you for the warm welcome Mike.

    I definitely am attending our Lasang Pinoy “parties”!

    Hello Lalaine! Welcome to Lasang Pinoy. Hopefully you participate in future events too. I’ve never made binagoongan before, but perhaps I will give it a try. Maybe I can use bacon instead of pork belly.

    i love this topped with an egg. (gawd, the cholesterol! LOL) but this is indeed yummy… maybe i’ll have the Thai Bagoong Rice at Bento for lunch. :)

    fabulous. i love binagoongan but i haven’t made it myself at home fearing that the smell (which i think is absolutely beautiful and appetising) might drive my hubby to move out , he he. this is such a classic filipino dish, sarap.

    Steff, Dess, thank you for the support. Every minute na lang yata check ako kung may nag comment sa blog ko. Ganito yata talaga ang banong…masyadong excited!
