This Filipino Pork Recipe is deliciously salty with a wonderful tang from the vinegar and spice from the peppers. Served over egg noodles this Filipino pork dish will delight your taste buds!
I went to the doctor the other day because my right arm/shoulder has been hurting these past few weeks. She is suspicious that I’ve developed tendinitis due to overuse in the kitchen.
So rather than tone-down the cooking marathons, I’ve started physical therapy twice a week for the next 12 weeks.
All of the exercises I’ve been prescribed are really, really awkward. None of them could be considered a fluid, graceful movement. Each one of them requires me to do this awesome thing with my neck where I pull my chin back as far as a can, providing me with additional chins and an uncanny resemblance to Honey Boo Boo’s mom.
I’m supposed to do them EVERY TWO HOURS. Who has time for that? I’ve taken to hiding in the bathroom at work and doing them while I’m washing my hands.
It’s just a matter of time until someone walks in on me while I’m doing my best Jabba the Hutt impression.
Urgh.
Okay, enough complaining. On to the food…
I tried this Filipino pork recipe from Gina over at SkinnyTaste a few years back and fell in love with it.
I’ve adjusted it to suit my own preferences over the years, and have taken to serving it over a bed of egg noodles. One of these days I’m going to find the time to make my own noodles, but until them I’m perfectly content to keep using the dried store-bought variety.
Like many women who work in or out of the home, I love anything I can cook in a crockpot.
I throw this pulled pork and noodles recipe together quickly in the morning before going about my day, and when I come home the house smells incredible and my dog is salivating all over the furniture.
The Filipino pork dish is deliciously salty with a wonderful tang from the vinegar and spice from the peppers. Warm, comforting, filling, and totally savory.
Mmm.
Pull out your crockpot and get cooking!
Filipino Pork and Noodles Recipe

- 1/3 c. low sodium soy sauce
- 1/4 c. apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 c. rice vinegar
- 1/3 c. water
- 5 cloves garlic - peeled crushed

- Cook the egg noodles according to manufacturers instructions.
- Remove and discard the bay leaves from the slow cooker. Serve the pork over the egg noodles and top with chopped green onions.
I can’t handle spice (I’m a wimp). Is there any way to make this without the jalapenos or with a substitution?
Hi Christyn,
Yes, just leave the jalapenos out.

I’m filipino, but I’m not familiar with this food. 😀 hahahaha. But it looks yummy so I’m gonna try it. 😉
Hi, Kimi! Isn’t it funny how that happens? In my travels I’ve come across all sorts of “American” food in different countries that I’ve DEFINITELY never had back home. Let me know how you like it!
It’s really just Filipino Adobo topped on Noodles instead of Rice…
Far out Anetta, it’s been ages since I last read your blog and… everything’s changed! I can definitely understand how you would’ve developed tendonitis as this must’ve been so much hard work. Are you still blogging over at ‘If Looks Could Kale’? Great job, fantastic site. Anyway, love this recipe. I haven’t eaten much Filipino food but it looks delicious. Hope you feel better soon! xx
Hey Laura! Things have definitely been changing over here. I switched to wordpress.org the first of September and am using the Genesis theme which I LOVE. The Wanderlust Kitchen is the new name and site for ILCK – everything just redirects to here. I had realized that all I ever cook is ethnic food so I wanted to focus on sharing those recipes. While “if looks could kale” was a fun pun, it didn’t really say much about what the blog was about and since it was so brand new I figured it wouldn’t hurt to change it up!
