Pork Afritada or Adobo???

I have to admit that there are only few dishes that I know how to cook.  To be exact, I only knew less that ten viand.

Gosh!

Anyway, so tonight I texted Nyl asking him what dish I could make with a few slices of pork meat and  few pieces of carrots and potatoes.  He suggested I should try pork afritada.

~nose bleeding~ hehehe! just kidding.

I informed him that I don't know how to do it and that I don't have all the ingredients needed especially the tomato sauce in which I remembered was one of the ingredients since this is a tomato-based stew dish, he told me that it was okay.  So he then texted me the recipes and the procedures in making this viand.  But I wasn't able to follow the entire procedure yet it taste good (tapping my shoulder for a dish well done).

So these are the ingredients and procedure I prepared and did.  If you know the exact name of this dish , please free to leave a message meanwhile let's just call it "Adofritada".  : )

INGREDIENTS:
- 1 piece bell pepper, seeded and slice
- 1 piece onion, sliced
- 4 cloves of  garlic, peeled and smashed
- 3 pieces of potatoes, diced
- 1 piece medium size carrots, diced
- soy sauce
- vinegar
- a cup of water
- 1 tablespoon of oil
- salt

Sorry, I can't give the exact measurement of the soy sauce, salt and vinegar I added since I just based it on how it taste.

PROCEDURE:
-  In a small size saucepan over a medium heat,  I saute the garlic in oil until golden brown.  I then added the
 onion until its color become lighter then I then added the bell pepper (hehehe!!! Nyls text was late the bell pepper was supposed to be added with the potatoes).
- I added the meat and wait until it turned light brown then I added the soy sauce, vinegar, water, carrots and potatoes.
- I then cover the sauce pan and simmer it until the carrots and potatoes were cooked.  I then added a small amount of salt to add more flavor.
-Then take a picture.  :) Hehehe!Just kiddng, turn-off the stove and serve.

My finished product.

My brother and his fiancee said it tasted good...YES!  Another tap on my shoulder.
Tonight I learned not only how to cook this dish but also I learned that nothing is impossible we just need to try doing something about it.
