This is by far the best Pork Guisantes recipe I've come accross. I didn't have bell pepper handy and used a small bottle of pimentos and instead of pork sirloin I used pork butt. I also added a small can of tomato paste and instead of salt and pepper I used soy sauce. I really believe it's all in your instructions and the order in which the ingredients are added and cooked that made the flavor really come out in this dish. My family LOVED it!! Definitely will be making again. Thank You!

Not bad! I followed the recipe pretty closely, but used a whole red bell pepper and followed the alternative suggestion of two cups of diced tomatoes with one tablespoon of tomato paste. It turned out rather soupy, even after I boiled it on high heat for over 5 minutes. I may follow another commenter's suggestion of using less water and more tomato paste. Next time I might add a few chili peppers to spice it up. But overall, the flavor was quite nice.

Thank you for the recipe!

Love this dish but my friend Dianne ( who has since died) made it with pimento, ooooh didn't know how quick and easy it could be. Big Island pork stew I called it. Didn't know how Dianne would live on in my stomach as well as my heart

Interesting.
So, is bell peppers added to replace sliced pimento? I never thought to add patis. My uncle thought me to add a little ground cinnamon too.
I'll try it your way.
Thank you!

Delicious, just like home flavors of the Big Island. I substituted compressed tofu for the pork,(my other half doesn’t eat pork). We both thoroughly enjoyed it! Your flavors are spot on!

Hi Lalaine,
This is my go-to recipe that is like how my grandpa used to make in big woks, fueled by Kiawe wood, and using big paddles to stir it, for Filipino plantation parties in Kekaha. I’ve made this several times and my grown children take all the leftovers, divided amongst them. So, I gotta hide a small portion for my wife and I. Thank you for sharing! I’ve almost got the recipe memorized. So easy, authentic, and delicious!
Mahalo,
Rey
