schedulePrepare in advance
Wash your hands after handling raw pork to prevent cross-contamination.
Combine 2 lbs of pork, 0.5 cup of soy sauce, and the juice of 3 calamansi in a bowl. Mix well and marinate for at least 30 minutes to let the meat absorb the flavor.
Watch out
Do not forget to marinate for at least 30 minutes, otherwise the meat will taste bland.
Heat 1 tbsp of cooking oil in a pan. Add 1 tbsp of ginger and sauté to reduce the gamy taste of the liver. Add 0.25 lb of pig liver and sauté until light brown.

Do not overcook the liver, otherwise it will become hard and rubbery inside.
Add 1 tbsp of cooking oil to the same pan and heat. Sauté 1 medium chopped onion for 30 seconds until softened, then mix in 5 cloves of minced garlic and sauté until fragrant and lightly browned.

Do not let the garlic burn
burnt garlic will impart a bitter taste to the whole dish
Place the marinated 2 lbs of pork in the pan (set aside the remaining marinade in the bowl). Sauté the pork for 2 to 3 minutes until the outer parts of the pieces turn light brown.

Do not pour the marinade in immediately so the pork can easily brown in the pan.
Pour the remaining marinade and add 8 oz of tomato sauce, 1.5 cups of water, 1 piece of Knorr Pork Cube, and 4 pieces of dried bay leaves. Mix well, cover the pan, and simmer for 45 minutes to 1 hour until the pork is completely tender.

Check the water occasionally so it does not dry out and burn the bottom while tenderizing the pork.
Mix the prepared pig liver, 3 sliced hotdogs, 1 medium diced carrot, and 1 medium diced potato into the tender pork. Mix well, cover, and cook on medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes.

Stir frequently so the starch from the potatoes does not stick to the bottom.
Add 0.5 tsp of granulated white sugar, 1 pinch of salt, and 1 pinch of ground black pepper to taste. Stir and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes before removing from heat.

Taste first before adding more salt to avoid making it too salty.
Be careful when handling the hot pan and bowl; use a pot holder or mitten to prevent burns.
Transfer the cooked pork menudo to a serving bowl and serve hot with rice.
Watch out
Use proper utensils when transferring to avoid spilling the hot sauce.
