Tips on How to Make Pork Giniling
- I use fresh tomatoes in this giniling so the sauce is pretty thin and light. If you want a thicker, heartier sauce, stir in a tablespoon or two of tomato paste.
- Cut the potatoes and carrots into a uniform size to ensure even cooking.
- I usually serve it for parties and special occasions as is but if you’d like to fancy it up, add hard-boiled quail eggs, green peas, and pineapple tidbits.
