Ginataang Sitaw, String Beans in Coconut Milk

Ginataang Sitaw, String Beans in Coconut Milk
Ginataang Sitaw, String Beans in Coconut Milk is an adaptation from the usual vegetable with coconut milk ginataang sitaw at kalabasa without the kalabasa. There are two reason that I did not use kalabasa, first I forgot to buy pumpkin and second I would like to share that using string beans alone in a vegetable ginataang is equally delicious. Cooking is of course basically the same with my other ginataang vegetable dishes.

Ginataang Sitaw

I would like to emphasize that the string beans should not be overcooked and it is the same with other vegetables. I have used generous amount of pork on this dish and I would suggest the same and you could not go wrong, the resultant dish would be as good. Here is the recipe of my Ginataang Sitaw, String Beans in Coconut Milk.

250 grams pork belly, boiled, cut into strips
1 large size string beans, trimmed, cut into 2” lengths
1 can canned coconut cream

1 small size onion, chopped
1 thumb size ginger, sliced
1-2 tbsp. bagoong alamang
1-2 tbsp. fish sauce
