Nilagang Baboy or Pork Nilaga is translated as boiled pork in Filipino.

This is a soup dish commonly served for lunch or dinner on regular

days. Nilagang Baboy is eaten with steamed white rice and is best
served with patis (fish sauce) and siling labuyo (birds eye chili).

If you have been cooking Filipino Recipes for a while, chances are that
you know how to prepare Pork Nilaga. This is one of the easiest
Filipino soup dishes that anyone can prepare. Although everything in
the recipe seems so easy to do, you have to pay special attention to
the texture of the pork in order for your Nilaga to be successful. Make
sure to give enough time for the pork to become tender. This means
that you will need to simmer it for a quarter of an hour to a little more
than an hour.
You will notice that I started by sauteeing the onion, peppercorn, and
pork. I am doing this because I wanted to extract the flavor from the
said ingredients. If you prefer your Nilagang Baboy to be less oily, all
you have to do is start by letting the broth (beef or pork) boil. You will
then add the onion, peppercorn, and pork and boil them until the pork
becomes tender. You can also omit the salt. Instead, add the fish sauce
directly towards the end.
