Bicol Express Ingredients:

1 kilo of pork meat; cut lengthwise
1/2 cup of Philippine bird's eye pepper (siling labuyo)
3 cups coconut milk
1/2 cup sauted shrimp paste (bagoong alamang)
1 tablespoon garlic; crushed
1 small onion; chopped

Bicol Express Cooking Preparation:

In a saucepan, sauté garlic and onion. Drop the pork and bird’s eye pepper. Continue sauteing until pork starts to render fat and edges turn to brown. Add sauted shrimp paste and stir, then pour the coconut milk (you may pour gradually in preference to the amount of sauce you want). Cook in low fire until pork becomes tender and until a saucy consistency is achieved. Serve hot!

Is this recipe another version of the authentic one? From what I know, one of the main ingredients of Bicol Express dish is the taro leaves. My Bicolano neighbor has always served it with it.

Pepper
Jasmin you can buy sweet chili (6 inches long finger like) mostly in the farmers market or oriental stores. You can subtitute it also with anahiem chili.

What other pepper can be subsituted if the bird's eye pepper can't be found?
