Pork Salpicao is a delicious and flavorful Filipino dish renowned for its tender chunks of pork marinated and sautéed in a delectable blend of garlic, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and sometimes chili peppers.
It's a dish that beautifully balances savory and garlicky flavors, often served with steamed rice, making it a satisfying and comforting meal. The aromatic essence of garlic combined with the succulent pork creates a delightful culinary experience that's both easy to prepare and incredibly enjoyable to savor.
You can also add mushrooms to your salpicao to introduce some texture, in addition to pork. For this recipe, I'll be using this Jolly Mushrooms (sliced) in a 100-gram tetra pack.
Here is a simple and easy-to-follow recipe of Pork Salpicao with Mushroom.
