Ingredients
For Marination:
- 1 kg Pork Shoulder (cubed)
- 4 tbsp Soy Sauce
- ½ cup Calamansi Juice
For Sautéing and Cooking:
- 2 tbsp Cooking Oil
- 8 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 piece Onion (sliced)
- 2 cups Water
- 3 pcs Bay Leaves
- 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
- 1 piece Pork Cube (bouillon)
- 2 pcs Potatoes (cubed)
- 2 pcs Carrots (cubed)
- 300 grams Pork Liver (cubed)
- 5 pcs Hotdogs (cubed)
- 1 piece Red Bell Pepper (cubed)
- 1 piece Green Bell Pepper (cubed)
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the cubed pork shoulder, soy sauce, and calamansi juice. Mix well and marinate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
- In a large pan, heat 2 tbsp of cooking oil over medium heat. Sauté the minced garlic and sliced onions until fragrant and softened.
- Add the marinated pork to the pan. Sauté until the pork turns light brown, ensuring it's evenly cooked on all sides.
- Add back the marinade and pour in 2 cups of water and add the bay leaves and black pepper. Stir, then cover and simmer over low heat until the pork becomes tender (about 30-40 minutes).
- Once the pork is tender, add the pork cube, cubed potatoes and carrots. Continue simmering until the vegetables are slightly tender (about 10-12 minutes).
- Add the cubed pork liver and hotdogs. Simmer for two minutes.
- Add the red bell pepper, and green bell pepper to the pan. Stir well and cook for another 5-7 minutes, or until the liver is fully cooked but still tender.
- Add salt to taste and adjust the seasoning according to your preference. Simmer for another minute to let all the flavors meld together.
- Once cooked, remove from heat and serve your Kapampangan-style Pork Menudo with steamed rice.
