Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Blood: To prevent the pig's blood from coagulating, place it in a bowl and stir in 2 tablespoons of the vinegar. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Pork: Heat a tablespoon of oil in a pot over medium heat. Sauté the garlic and onion until softened. Add the pork belly cubes and cook for 7-10 minutes until lightly browned and some fat is rendered.

  3. 3

    Simmer with Vinegar: Pour in the remaining vinegar and the pork broth. Bring to a boil, but do NOT stir for the first 5 minutes to let the sharp acidic taste evaporate. After 5 minutes, stir, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes until the pork is tender.

  4. 4

    Incorporate the Blood: Lower the heat to medium-low. While stirring the pork mixture continuously, slowly pour in the prepared pig's blood. Keep stirring for about 5 minutes to ensure the blood emulsifies into a smooth, dark gravy without curdling.

  5. 5

    Final Simmer: Add the green chilies and brown sugar. Simmer uncovered for another 10-15 minutes until the sauce turns jet black, thickens considerably, and coats the back of a spoon. Serve hot with Puto (steamed rice cakes) or rice.
