• Remove the meat from the sauce and pan-fry in a little oil until browned on all sides.
• Transfer to a serving platter or bowl and cover with sauce. Serve with warm steamed rice.
• While the recipe says to saute the meat after it's cooked, I usually brown the meat before adding the remainder of the incredients. I have no idea what difference this makes, if any.
• I adapted this from a recipe in Philippine Recipes Made Easy, by Violeta A. Noriega.
