Pork guisantes (also spelled as gisantes) or pork and peas is a Hawaiian pork stew of Filipino origin.[1][2] Pork is stewed in a tomato sauce base with peas.[3] It is likely an adaptation of the Filipino dishes igado and afritada introduced by the Ilocanos from their arrival in the early 1900s who came to work in the fruit and sugar plantations.[a][5][6]

Pork guisantes remains a popular Filipino-inspired dish catered to the Hawaiian palate. It is featured in ready-to-go bentos at convenience stores,[1] served at local dine-in restaurants,[3] offered as a plate lunch dish,[7] or an in-flight meal option,[8] and as an okazu item at a few okazuya.[9]
