Instruction
- Prepare the red chili sauce: Rinse chili pods and place in a large pot. Put enough water to cover pods. Cover and bring to a boil over medium heat and boil @ 20 minutes. Press peppers down occasionally to make sure they are covered with water. Remove from heat. Do not discard the liquid.
- Using tongs, remove each chili pod from pot, remove the stem and place the chili pods into a blender. (I do not remove the seeds….it’s your choice) Add the 'Red Chili Sauce Seasonings'.
- Blend until smooth. You will need to add a little of the water that you boiled the peppers in to get the right consistency. It should be a glue-like consistency.
- Prepare the Pork: Season the meat with garlic salt and pepper..
- Put the flour and the other Pork Seasonings' into a large ziploc bag. Add the meat and shake until well coated with the flour.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 or 3 tablespoons of oil and brown the meat (in batches) until no longer pink but not completely done. Stir occasionally to keep meat from sticking. Add a little more oil with each batch so that the meat will brown. Remove each batch to a large pot.
- Once the meat is browned and placed in the large pot, add the remaining flour and chopped onion;stir well to combine. Pour in the chili sauce and 1 cup (or a little more) of liquid from boiling the peppers, reduce heat to medium low, cover and simmer for @ 1 ½ hr. Stir often to keep from sticking.This should have the consistency of a thick, red gravy.
