I’ve all the time made my pork menudo with recent tomatoes, and I am proud to say I’ve by no means had complaints. It is hearty and flavorful and occurs to be one among my standard recipes on the weblog. Nevertheless, on my current go to to the Philippines, I attempted the model beneath from my aunt, and I’ve to say that it left mine within the mud.

Marinating the meat first in soy sauce and freshly squeezed calamansi juice earlier than braising it in tomato sauce and tomato paste elevates our traditional Filipino stew. The ensuing wealthy, thick sauce itself is ulam na. And, in fact, a sprinkling of Maggi Magic Sarap seasoning makes each spoonful extra magical.
