Ingredients

Directions

  1. Place the diced pork in a pot, cover with water, and simmer for 30 minutes until tender.
  2. Remove the cooked pork from the broth and dice it into smaller pieces if necessary.
  3. Measure out 1 1/2 cups of the reserved pork broth and set aside.
  4. Heat oil in a large saucepan or skillet over medium heat.
  5. Sauté garlic and diced onions until fragrant and slightly softened.
  6. Add the cooked pork, diced liver, patis, salt, and MSG to the pan.
  7. Sauté the mixture for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  8. Pour in the vinegar and bring to a boil, letting it cook without stirring for a minute to mellow the acidity.
  9. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered until most of the vinegar liquid has evaporated.
  10. Add the reserved pork broth and simmer for 10 minutes.
  11. Stir in the frozen pig's blood and sugar, cooking until the sauce thickens, stirring frequently to prevent curdling.
  12. Add the hot banana peppers and oregano, then cook for an additional 5 minutes.
  13. Serve hot with steamed rice or puto.
