Comfort food

"Lomo" (pork tenderloin in gingery soup with misua noodles) my comfort, aka, "cheat" food this rainy morning... 

Way back in my youth in our home province, my Tatay get the chance to cook this dish, only when we butcher a home raised pig to help defray tuition fees of my older siblings, for town fiesta celebrations or special family occasions. 


Because, unlike these days when lomo or tenderloin can be bought anytime from the supermarket, back then, meat sellers/butchers keep this prized meat part for family consumption only. 


Recipe is as follows:


Ingredients:


1 pc pork tenderloin, sliced into strips
1/3 cup, fresh pork liver strips
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 small onion, chopped
1 thumb size, ginger, pound and sliced into strips
1/2 cube pork bouillon
3 cups water
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 pack Misua
2 tbsp fish sauce
chopped spring onion for garnishing
salt and pepper to taste


Directions:
1.  Saute garlic, onions and ginger in oil.
2.  Add pork tenderloin, saute well, till almost cooked.
3.  Add fish sauce and saute more.
4.  Add in the liver, saute till brown.
5.  Add in the water and pork cube, let boil.
6.  Then add the misua, cook a minute or 2.
7.  Season with salt and pepper to taste.
8.  Garnish with chopped spring onion and  serve hot.


Enjoy!
