Rich Pork Dinuguan

✓ USDA-verified nutrition data

Ingredients

• 2 lb Pork shoulder
• 2 cups Pork blood
• 1/3 cup Cane vinegar
• 6 cloves Garlic
• 1 Onion
• 1 tbsp Ginger
• 3 Bird’s eye chilies
• 2 Bay leaves

Steps

1. Simmer the pork in salted water, 40 minutes, until tender; reserve 2 cups of the broth.
2. Sauté the onion, garlic, and ginger in oil, 5 minutes, until soft and fragrant.
3. Return the pork to the pot with the reserved broth and bay leaves; simmer 10 minutes.
4. Whisk the vinegar into the pork blood until completely smooth — lumps now never dissolve.
5. Pour the blood mixture in a thin stream, stirring constantly, and keep stirring 5 minutes as it thickens into a glossy, dark stew. Never let it boil hard or it turns grainy.
6. Add the whole chilies for the last 5 minutes.
7. Season with salt and a spoon of vinegar to brighten. Serve with steaming rice or, traditionally, with puto — the sweet rice cakes against the rich, tangy stew is a pairing of genius.
