This pork giniling with quail eggs is a little different from the giniling na baboy recipe we also have in our recipe archive. Along with adding quail eggs, I also swapped the fresh tomatoes I usually use with tomato sauce and banana ketchup to add a hint of sweetness.

Both versions are equally delicious and are a satisfying meal that’s sure to hit the spot!

  • You can omit the banana sauce and add more tomato sauce if you prefer to tone down the sweetness.
  • Add diced red and green bell peppers to boost color, texture, and nutrients.
  • Want to make it extra special for a party? Stir in 1/2 cup or so of pineapple tidbits.

    Can I use banana ketchup instead of tomato sauce?

      Do you mean just banana ketchup and no tomato sauce? I guess you could if you want but the dish might become overly sweet.

    Hi there, whats the brand of tomato sauce that you used? If I can’t find banana ketchup, can I add more tomato sauce? Many thanks

      You can skip the banana catsup. I like mine with a hint of sweetness so if I use only tomato sauce, I add sugar to taste.

    Never heard about banana ketchup before I read this recipe. Where can I find such ketchup? I would be so happy to get this recipe a try!

      Hi Slyvie

      It’s available in most Asian stores oe you can order in online on Amazon. If you cant find it, just substitute tomato ketchup and add a bit a bit of sugar to the stew. Hope you do give it a try, it’s delicious!

    Presentation wise, maganda gamitin ang quail eggs. Pero dahil bitin kami sa quail eggs, chicken eggs ang gamit namin pag nagluluto ng giniling. Hehe. πŸ™‚
