Step 1
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large pot over medium-high. Add pork cubes and brown on all sides, stirring occasionally, ~8 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
Step 2
Add onion and garlic to the pot. Sauté until fragrant, ~1 minute. Do not brown.
Step 3
Stir in bagoong until combined with the oil and aromatics, coating the bottom of the pot, ~30 seconds.
Step 4
Return pork to the pot. Add water and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered, ~15 minutes.
Step 5
Add eggplant and okra. Simmer for 8 minutes until eggplant begins to soften but still holds its shape.
Step 6
Stir in zucchini and shrimp. Simmer until shrimp turns pink and vegetables are tender, ~5 minutes.
Step 7
Taste and season with salt and pepper. Serve hot in bowls with plenty of broth.
