Pork and Winged Bean

Recently, I went to an Asian grocery store and bought some fruits and vegetables that are not so common. The fruits I managed to find were some of my favorites to eat growing up in the Philippines. I was also excited to find these winged beans (sigarilyas) which are full of vitamins and minerals. I decided to sautee them with slices of pork to make this delicious pork and winged bean dish.In this dish, the pork is first boiled until tender. The pork is sliced into small pieces and sautéed with shallots and tomatoes. The winged beans are added and cooked until crisp tender after browning the meat. The moringa leaves are added last for its health benefit. This easy and simple dish came out great!
