Nilagang Baboy or Pork Nilaga is translated as boiled pork in Filipino. This is a soup dish commonly served for lunch or dinner on regular days. Nilagang Baboy is eaten with steamed white rice and is best served with patis (fish sauce) and siling labuyo (birds eye chili).

If you have been cooking Filipino Recipes for a while, chances are that you know how to prepare Pork Nilaga. This is one of the easiest Filipino soup dishes that anyone can prepare. Although everything in the recipe seems so easy to do, you have to pay special attention to the texture of the pork in order for your Nilaga to be successful. Make sure to give enough time for the pork to become tender. This means that you will need to simmer it for a quarter of an hour to a little more than an hour.

You will notice that I started by sauteeing the onion, peppercorn, and pork. I am doing this because I wanted to extract the flavor from the said ingredients. If you prefer your Nilagang Baboy to be less oily, all you have to do is start by letting the broth (beef or pork) boil. You will then add the onion, peppercorn, and pork and boil them until the pork becomes tender. You can also omit the salt. Instead, add the fish sauce directly towards the end.

    Joseph -- you may use plantains, but it won’t give you the same sweetness as saba banana.

    Hi Vanjo!! I try to avoid pork or beef cubes for flavoring. Is there any other way I could make my nilagang baboy delicious. Is patis good with plain water?

    Even though I am just learning how to cook, your recipes are easy to follow. And I like that you teach long cuts and short cuts. The long cuts are always tastier. I only used to cook chinese dishes before but now I’m enjoying Filipino dishes as well. And hubby is getting fatter. Not a good thing. But thanks!
