Filipino Pork Nilaga Soup Recipe

Filipino Pork Nilaga Soup is a Boiled Pork Soup with Potato and Bok Choy. It is a simple way to prepare soup the Pinoy style. It goes with rice and is best with some spicy fish sauce on the side. Typically, the spicy fish sauce dip is simply fish sauce with chopped spicy chili. Siling labuyo is the hottest chili that originated from the Philippines. This is around 50,000 to 100,000 Scoville units.

Aside from the ingredients that we have for this recipe, other vegetables can also be used. For example, cabbage or Napa cabbage can be used instead of bok choy, or you can use both. Carrots can also be added once in awhile, but it is not common. Saba banana or the sweet plantains of the Philippines also make a great addition as it gives the soup a sweet taste.

Traditionally, Filipino soup dishes are clear and based on chicken, pork, or beef. A similar soup is called Bulalo, wherein beef shanks with bone and marrow are used instead of pork. Chicken soups such as Chicken Tinola is also a favorite because it is packed with nutrients brought about by the ingredients.

      I would use pork broth if there is one commercially available. Can you by pork broth, by any chance from your location?
