    Bicol Express is a fiery Filipino dish that originates from the Bicol Region in the Philippines.

    It's
    known for its intense spiciness and rich, creamy coconut milk sauce.
    Key Ingredients:
    ● Pork belly or shoulder, cut into cubes
    ● Coconut milk
    ● Shrimp paste (bagoong)
    ● Chili peppers (often a mix of bird's eye chilies and larger green chilies)
    ● Garlic
    ● Onion
    ● Salt and pepper
    How to Make Bicol Express:
    1. Sauté the Aromatics: Sauté garlic and onion in hot oil until fragrant.
    2. Add the Pork: Add the pork cubes to the pot and brown them on all sides.
    3. Introduce the Flavor: Add the shrimp paste and chili peppers to the pot, stirring to coat
    the pork.
    4. Simmer with Coconut Milk: Pour in the coconut milk and simmer until the pork is tender
    and the sauce has thickened.
    5. Season and Serve: Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot with steamed rice.
    Tips for Making Bicol Express:
    ● Adjust the Heat: The spiciness of Bicol Express can be adjusted by adding more or
    fewer chili peppers.
    ● Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh ingredients, especially fresh chili peppers, will give the
    dish a more vibrant flavor.
    ● Don't Overcook the Coconut Milk: Overcooking the coconut milk can cause it to
    separate and curdle.
    ● Serve Immediately: Bicol Express is best enjoyed hot and fresh.
