Humba, Adobong Bisaya

Humba
Humba, Adobong Bisaya is very popular dish in Visayas and most part of Mindanao, at some places they call it adobong Bisaya. Humba is basically cooked same way with adobo, it is a bit salty and sometimes sweetened with panocha or brown sugar but not too sweet compared to the Tagalog version. It has to be cooked dry and oily, to keep the shelf life longer with out refrigeration. It is during fiestas that this dish is prepared when the pigs are slaughtered for the celebration.


Humba, Adobong Bisaya

Most of the extra pork meat would be cooked to humba and preserved in its oil in tin cans or containers. Weeks after the fiesta there would still be humba on surprise visits of friend and relatives. I even have some friend who brought humba here in Abu Dhabi. If you are now craving for that extra soft, melt in the mouth humba here is my recipe.

Adobong Bisaya

Ingredients:

1 kilo pork belly, cut into big cubes
1/2 head garlic,peeled, crushed
1/2 cup vinegar
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tbsp. brown sugar
3-5 pcs. bay leaf
1 tsp. peppercorns, crushed
salt

Humba, Adobong Bisaya - Cooking Procedure

Cooking procedure:

In a thick sauce pan put all ingredients add enough water to cover meat and bring to a boil. Set heat to medium low and simmer for 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until the pork belly are tender. Remove all scum that rises, add more water as necessary. When pork skin turns to gelatine like texture. Correct saltiness and sweetness according to taste, set heat to low and continue to simmer until all the liquid has evaporated and pork start to render fat. Now cook the pork on its own fat until brown on low heat stirring occasionally to avoid burning the bottom. Serve with a lot of rice,

  14. I can make delicious humba with our siquijorian style... It would be better to use Sprite instead of sugar, and do not put lot's of water, and also you can add lemon into it... That is my secret and everybody loves my humba, it's not like other humba, mine is unique.

    This is not our usual humba ricepe. We use the pork belly and cut same in adobo. now deep fry to remove some extra fats until golden brown. then on a deep pot pour water just enough to cover the meatand the spices. bring to boil and simmer 'til tender. we add the sliced, fried saging na saba ( med. ripe )simmer until tender. super yammy @ less cholesterol pa.

    pwde din po pork leg aside from pork belly.
    Sa Cotabato lang ako nkakakain ng ganto super sarap. My tita uses Sprite instead of Sugar and puts some sugar cane or ripe sliced pineapple sa bottom ng malaking kaldero before putting the pork. super sarap. kahit yung Dad ko na masarap magluto di nya kayang pantayan ang humba ng Tita ko :)

    Aside from pork belly we can also have pork leg and instead of sugar she uses Sprite and put some sugar cane or ripe sliced pinapple at the bottom of the cooking pot before putting the pork. Super sarap talga!!
