vinegar, salted black beans, soybean paste, sugar, bay leaves, star anise and
peanuts. Mix well until the sugar dissolves. Place the pig’s feet into the
mixture and marinate for at least an hour.
2. Place pork with
the marinade in a pressure cooker. Add enough water to cover pork pieces.
Secure lid and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a bare simmer and cook for 1
hour. Keep patahumbawarm until needed.
3. For the pancit,
place the pre-soaked rice noodles in a wok and pour in the patahumbasauce. Add
water. Turn on heat until boiling point, and then lower to a simmer, turning
noodles to make sure every strand is soaked in the liquid.
4. Add the diced
humbameat and Chinese cabbage. Mix thoroughly.
5. To serve,
transfer to a deep dish. Top with pata humba and sprinkle with chopped chives
or spring onions.
