Bicol Express is pure comfort food! With pork cubes cooked in coconut milk and chili peppers, it’s rich, creamy, spicy and delicious. Serve with steamed rice for a hearty and big flavored meal! The day after I made my very first gising-gising, I packed half of it to work for one of my co-workers to try.
She is from Bicol, and I was interested to know what she thought of my newfound recipe. Instead of the rave review I expected, she barely touched the portion I ladled on her plate. This is how you do spicy. Her Bicol Express was so viciously hot I couldn’t feel my tongue after each bite and yet it was so deliriously good I kept digging in for more! I first posted my version of this dish in May 2014, but although it has received great reviews from our readers, I am updating it now with a few changes. I wanted the recipe to be as authentic as possible, and after researching online and asking all my Bicolano friends for guidance, I think the new method below comes pretty close. Bicol Express is the ultimate comfort food!
With pork cubes cooked in coconut milk and chili peppers, it’s rich, creamy, spicy and delicious! My mouth was seriously on fire while I was eating the savory pork for lunch today! You can decrease the number of peppers or scrape the seeds off the pods before mincing if you want to tone down the spice, but as my Bicolana friend said, it’s NOT Bicol Express if it’s not numbing your tongue. In fact, the authentic Bicol version uses more chili than pork! If you want the same creamy flavors but with a friendlier heat, you can try this binagoongan baboy sa gata instead.
