Method
- If using annatto seeds, warm them gently in oil until the oil turns deep orange-red, then strain; do not burn the seeds.
- Rinse fresh miki briefly only if very salty and drain well.
- Cook garlic and onion in the annatto oil until softened.
- Add pork and brown lightly, then add shrimp only until pink and remove it.
- Pour in stock, soy sauce, and fish sauce and simmer 3 minutes.
- Add the miki and toss until evenly red, nearly tender, and still lightly saucy.
- Fold in carrot and cabbage and return the shrimp for the final 2 minutes.
- Serve immediately with calamansi, pepper, and extra chili if desired.
