GINATAANG LANGKA WITH PORK (JACKFRUIT AND PORK IN COCONUT SAUCE)

Ginataang Langka with Pork is a delicious Filipino dish that combines the rich, creamy flavor of coconut milk with the subtle sweetness and texture of young jackfruit (langka). The dish starts with sautéing garlic, onions, and ginger to create a fragrant base. Pork pieces, usually belly or shoulder, are added and browned until tender. The young jackfruit is then mixed in, absorbing the savory flavors of the sautéed ingredients. Coconut milk is poured over the mixture, simmering until the pork is fully cooked and the jackfruit is tender. The dish is seasoned with fish sauce or salt, and sometimes, chilies are added for a hint of spice. Ginataang Langka with Pork is typically served with steamed rice, offering a comforting and satisfying meal.
