Humba is an interesting dish. This slow braised pork (could be pork belly, pork ribs or both) is cooked in a sweet glaze of sugar (panocha/palm sugar during the old days) and given depth of flavor with the addition of soy sauce, salted black beans, and star anise. Although this dish finds its local roots in the Visayas part of the Philippines just by casually perusing the ingredients listed below, it is clear that this “local” dish has origins beyond our own shores.
