Authentic Kansi Recipe from Bacolod City

A true Negros Occidental classic, this authentic kansi recipe from Bacolod City is sure to warm your family’s hearts and tummies! The secret to authentic kansi is using batuan fruit as a souring agent, just like they do in the Western Visayas region.

Start by making achuete oil. Then begin boiling a kilogram of beef kansi (also known as the cut for osso bucco). Add onion slices, batuan and lemongrass to the boiling beef. Season it with salt and let it simmer before adding langka slices. Drizzle in your achuete oil and let it simmer until the langka is fully cooked, then add a touch of heat with finger chilis. A little patis (fish sauce) brings a note of umami to this flavorful broth.

This authentic kansi recipe from Bacolod City is the perfect combination of sour sinigang and beefy bulalo – two Filipino favorites that are comforting meal choices.

What makes Kansi different from Sinigang?

Kansi makes use of Batuan, a native fruit in the Western Visayas region. Batuan adds a rich sour flavor to the dish, giving it a more delicious and sour-tasty flavor profile.

Authentic Kansi Recipe

Kansi is a famous soup in Bacolod, and the taste is a combination of Sinigang and Bulalo. And, you must use Batuan as a souring agent because, without Batuan, the flavor will be like regular Sinigang.
