Ginataang Langka Recipe

Ginataang Langka Recipe

Ginataang Langka Recipe or Young Jackfruit in Coconut Milk is a common Filipino vegetable dish. It is most often paired with fried fish or anything fried. The secret to the best ginataan dish is, it must be spicy.

From how I taste it, the spiciness counter balance the richness of the coconut milk. Spiciness also means more rice, right?

My version of Ginataang Langka Recipe is how my mom usually cooks ginataan. Most of the time, ginataang langka is white. However, mine is a bit brown. So why is that? The secret, its the bagoong alamang or shrimp paste. Instead of simply seasoning it with salt or fish sauce, the shrimp paste give this dish a flavorful kind of saltiness. Just a tablespoon or two will really make a difference.

Some ginataang langka recipe calls for shrimp but my version uses fried pork. Yup! Instead of simply sautéing the pork, I simmered the pork until fork tender and deep fried it. Reserve the pork broth since all the flavor of the pork is in it.

For this recipe use 250 grams each of pork loin and pork belly. The pork loin gives you all the meat you want and the pork belly gives you the flavor you love. Unless you want pure pork fat go with the pork belly.

If you like langka or young jackfruit but doesn’t like the richness of coconut milk, just like my dad, you can check out my Pork Ribs and Young Jackfruit Soup recipe.
