How to cook it

Pressure cooker: 1kg beef brisket, 1 OG Pares Bomb and 3 cups (720ml) of water. Cook for 30-45 minutes, until the beef is tender and the sauce has reduced.

Stovetop: same pot, same three things. Cook over low heat for 1-2 hours. For extra flavor, sear the brisket first.

Top with fried garlic and green onion, add a squeeze of calamansi and serve with rice.

What it tastes like

Savory and garlicky, not sweet. A rich braising sauce that coats the beef and soaks into your rice.

Best meats

Beef brisket is the classic, or use your preferred cut.

Storage

Keeps for 6 months. Store it in a cool, dry place and keep the pack sealed.

OG Pares with fried garlic and rice

A Filipino favorite, without the sauce juggling

Pares means pair, for the beef and the rice that always come together, with warm broth on the side. We press a savory, garlicky sauce into our OG Pares Bomb, and you braise the brisket in it.

How it stacks up

Savory sauce, no balancing act.

The right amount of rich and savory

I love it! It was the right amount of rich and savory flavors in one mad bomb. I was able to create multiple dishes with the leftover broth and the pares flavor upgraded every dish I made. Can't wait to order again!

Questions?

What is the OG Pares Bomb?

It's our savory, garlicky pares sauce pressed into a bomb, for the Filipino comfort classic. Add beef brisket and water, drop the bomb in, and let it braise. No sauce balancing, no guesswork.

  • Savory, not sweet, with no juggling of sauces
  • Rich braising flavor every time
  • Great over rice or on its own

“Better than Resto-served Pares! We love it!” Anton M.

Why choose the OG Pares Bomb?

Tender beef falls apart in a glossy, savory sauce that coats every grain of rice, and someone asks for seconds before finishing their first bowl. It's pares from your own stove.

How many servings does one bomb make?

One bomb serves 8-10 with about 1kg of beef brisket. A full pack (2 bombs) serves 16-20.

Cooking for fewer people?

Cut the bomb in half. Half a bomb cooks 500-750g of meat and serves 4-5. Keep the rest in the resealable pack for next time.

Can I make the sauce thicker?

Yes. Stir in a little cornstarch slurry (cornstarch mixed with water) at the end and let it simmer for a minute.

What else can I make with it?

Classic OG Pares is the start. Try Pares Sliders and OG Pares Mami in the Recipe Hub.

My bomb arrived crushed. Can I still use it?

Yes, it cooks exactly the same. Use the pieces as you would a whole bomb.
