KBL RECIPE | KADYOS BABOY LANGKA

Have you heard about this dish? Of course, for Filipinos, especially the Visayans, this dish is very popular. This dish is a Visayas’ original.

But what is KBL? It stands for the three primary ingredients of this soup dish: Kadyos (pigeon peas), Baboy (pork), and Langka (Jackfruit). Nobody knew when people started to call it KBL; in the past, according to my grandmother; this dish is just a version of Nilagang Baboy with an added ingredient of pigeon peas (kadyos). Perhaps, to give the dish a distinction, it was labeled as KBL.

You can use other parts of the pork for as long as it has fats on it. It is actually the fats that contribute to a great flavor of the dish. But don’t be afraid, the jackfruit, batwan and pigeon peas balance everything. | KBL Recipe | kadyos Baboy Langka

What made this dish distinctly Visayan? It’s the use of a souring ingredient called batwan or batuan. This fruit is very popular in the Visayas region. It is quite challenging to find this souring agent in other parts of the country. While other people use tamarind for their souring agent instead of batuan, the distinct taste of batuan is still different.

Another distinct feature of this soup is its purple color brought about by the pigeon peas. This ingredient can be found in some supermarkets.

In the provinces, especially in the countryside, some cook/home use fresh pigeon peas, giving the dish even a stronger purple color.
