Easy Pata Tim Recipe

Pata Tim, also spelled patatim, is a Filipino-Chinese dish. It is a braised pork hock dish slow-cooked until very tender in various spices sweetened with sugar.

Easy Pata Tim Recipe

Pata Tim, also spelled patatim, is a Filipino-Chinese dish. It is a braised pork hock dish slow-cooked until very tender in various spices sweetened with sugar. Some vegetables, like pechay and mushrooms, are also added.

The dish is commonly served in Chinese-Filipino restaurants particularly in the City of Manila.

Pata tim, like the more common humba, is derived from the Chinese red braised pork. It is closer to the original dish than humba, in that it sometimes uses Chinese rice wine and other Chinese spices and condiments. However, it is more commonly cooked closer to the Filipino paksiw na pata, but it does not use vinegar or uses only a very small amount of it. Like humba, it can also add common Filipino ingredients like pineapples, banana flowers, saba bananas, and patis. The name is a shortened version of pata itim, literally “black pork hock”, from pata (“pork hock” or “pig’s trotters”) and itim (“black”).

Wikipedia

The most basic pata tim recipe uses what Filipinos call as pata (pork hock in English). Traditionally, pata tim is cooked whole and not chopped. The easy way to cook pata tim, as described below, is to mix all the ingredients together with the pata and simmer until tender. The broth is then used to make the sauce. The recipe used lettuce as garnish but we can replace it with blanched pechay. Then we serve with rice.

This dish could be modified. You may want to broil the pata for 1 to 2 minutes to prevent the skin from shrinking when boiled.

Another option is to pre-boil the pata for around 20 minutes before adding the ingredients. This allows you to remove scum and impurities from the pata. You can discard the water later and continue with the recipe.

For more flavor, some cooks will add pork cubes. This is all entirely up to you.

    Easy Crispy Bagnet Recipe

    Here is an easy crispy bagnet recipe that you should try.

    What is Bagnet?

    Bagnet is a Filipino dish consisting of pork belly (liempo) boiled and deep fried until it is crispy. Crispy Bagnet originated from the Ilocos region of the Philippines and is also known as “chicharon”.

    It is seasoned with garlic, black peppercorns, bay leaves, and salt. The meat is first boiled and then allowed to dry overnight before frying.

    The drying of the pork allows it to achieve its chicharon texture.

    Bagnet can be eaten on its own or with white rice. It is traditionally dipped in sukang ilokos (vinegar). It could also be used as an ingredient for pinakbet.

    Bagnet is almost similar to Lechon Kawali except that is it crispier.

    There are several twists to Bagnet like bagnet sisig, binagoongang bagnet and bagnet kare-kare as examples.

      How is Stir Fry Sauce used?

      As mentioned above, you will need a very hot wok (or a pan) plus the proteins and vegetables of your choice.

      Just make enough for a single meal so as not to worry if it will go bad or not.  As for me, I make them in batches and freeze them.

      If you want your sauce to be thick, combine a teaspoon of cornstarch with just enough cold water then add it to the sauce.
