Dish

Philippine asado

Stews, Braises and Sauced Dishes

Philippine asado is the name given to two different Filipino braised meat dishes. The word comes from the Spanish asado, meaning grilled, and refers to the first dish that carried it, the Chinese-Filipino version of char siu barbecue, usually called pork asado. Over time the Filipino versions came to be braised rather than grilled. The best known variant, pork asado, is pork braised in soy sauce, garlic, bay leaves, onion and brown sugar with Chinese spices such as star anise, which makes it sweet. It is usually sliced thinly and served with its braising liquid, and it is also shredded as a filling for sandwiches, buns and siopao. The native variants, asado de carajay and the Kapampangan asado matua, are savory rather than sweet and are built on tomatoes, potatoes, calamansi and other vegetables.
