About Bulanglang Babi
Lalaine Manalo presents pork bulanglang as a Kapampangan guava-based sinigang, distinct from the vegetable dishes called bulanglang elsewhere. Her rendition combines pork belly with fresh guavas, taro and kangkong in a lightly sour broth.
The fruit brings a delicate sweetness alongside its mild acidity. Onion and fish sauce supply the savoury seasoning, with salt adjusted in the soup. This recipe uses the author’s Mexican cream guavas, combining almost-ripe and greener fruit.
Taro chunks and kangkong remain among the tender pork pieces. The soup is served piping hot, with steamed rice and spiced fish sauce for dipping alongside.
