Put the meat and water in a pot, skim off the foam, and cook for 2 hours until tender.
Remove the meat from the liquid, strain the broth, and reserve 5 cups.
Soften the onion and garlic in annatto oil for 4 minutes.
Return the meat to the pot and add the reserved broth.
Whisk the peanut butter and toasted rice flour into the sauce.
Add the eggplants and green beans, and cook for 12 minutes.
Add the bok choy during the last 3 minutes so the leaves stay lively.
Serve the kare-kare with bagoong and plain rice.
💡 Tip: Toasted rice flour thickens the sauce and gives body without making the peanut flavor heavy.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve kare-kare with plain rice and a small spoonful of bagoong.
