A bold and unforgettable dish inspired by Bruno Mars, featuring rich and juicy pork belly braised in a flavorful mix of soy, calamansi, garlic, and spices, topped with sweet, caramelized onions and bok choy, served over fluffy white rice.
1: Cube and season the pork belly with SPG, then heavy sear over high heat.
2: Boil the pork for 20 minutes and drain to render fat and tenderize.
3: Sear minced whole garlic and diced onions to make the Bistek sauce.
4: Add soy sauce, calamansi juice, black pepper, corn starch, and sugar to the sauce.
5: Add the pork back to the sauce and braise covered for 25 minutes until tender.
6: Add onion rings and bok choy on top, cover and steam until cooked.
