Pork Humba with Fried Tofu is a good version of humba. I cooked this with pineapple juice and salted black beans along with a hint of star anise. I think that this Tokwa at Baboy Humba is a decent dish that you can cook for your family on a regular day. It is delicious and the pork was soft and flavorful.

Tokwa at Baboy Humba

This dish is best for those who want to experience tasting delicious humba while on a budget. The addition of fried tofu helps you feed more people without adding much to your cost.

How to Cook Pork Humba with Tofu

Start by frying the tofu until golden brown and crispy. I do this by heating around 1 to 1 1/2 cooking oil on a cooking pot or wok. It is best to cut the tofu into cubes before frying. Simply deep fry the tofu until the desired color and texture are achieved. Make sure to stir once in a while to balance the color.

Remove tofu from the wok afterwards and set it aside. Save the oil for later use.

Pour around 3 tablespoons of oil on a pan. This is the same oil used to fry the tofu. Saute the garlic first until it start to brown. I love the taste of browned garlic in this dish.

Add onion and then saute until it softens. The pork belly needs to be added next. Cook it while stirring until the outer part starts to brown. Going this gives a nice texture to the pork.

I like sautéing this in soy sauce longer. For this reason, I pour soy sauce once the pork browns and then saute it for a minute or two or until the liquid reduces to half.

Add pineapple juice and vinegar next and let the mixture boil. It is best to cover the pan so that the liquid boils quicker. I usually cook this using low to medium heat for around 40 minutes before adding brown sugar. I also add a cup of water so that I can boil it further until the pork becomes extremely tender.

Adding a piece of star anise provide additional flavor and good aroma to the dish. I cook it for 5 minute and then remove right away.  Finish by adding ground black pepper and fried tofu.

I like it best when eaten with warm white rice. Top it with rice along with a generous amount of sauce. Enjoy!
