Gising-gising is a spicy dish that will really wake you up. “G-i-s-i-n-g” is a Filipino word for wake up. This is a ground pork and green beans dish cooked in coconut oil and red chilies. The first time I cooked this for my husband, he fell in love with it. You can adjust the spiciness by adding more chilies. If you don’t like heat on your food, you can get rid of it. So, if you are one of those who like some spice on their dish, this recipe is for you.
The secret ingredient is always LOVE
Aside from being a main course, This dish is also best for “Pulutan” – as food or snacks provided as an accompaniment to alcoholic drinks.
