This is a recipe for Filipino Pork Menudo. Heat oil in a pan. Once the oil gets hot, start to pan fry the potato and carrots. Continue until all sides turns light brown. Set aside. Heat the remaining oil (add more if needed). Add the pork liver and then stir fry for 30 seconds. Add ground ginger. Continue to stir-fry for 2 minutes. Set aside.
Take the pork out of the fridge 15 minutes before cooking. Start to saute the garlic and onion. You will notice that this method is common in Filipino cuisine. Most Filipino foods are cooked starting with sauteing garlic and onion. Once the onions are soft, add the marinated pork and cook until it browns.
This is one of the favorite “putahe” (dish) served and this was the reason why different variations of this dish existed. Many Pork Menudo recipes include hotdogs (pinoy red hotdogs), green peas, or garbanzos and others would add sun dried raisins too.
In a small bowl, dissolve annatto powder in ¼ cup water. Set aside. In a pot over medium heat, heat oil. Add onions and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until limp and aromatic. Add pork and cook until lightly browned. Add fish sauce and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes.
