Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 1 onion, peeled and sliced thinly
- 4 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
- 2 thumb-sized ginger, peeled and minced
- ½ pound pork tenderloin, cut into strips
- ¼ pound pork heart, about 1 piece, cut into thin strips
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce
- 6 cups water
- ¼ pound pork liver, cut into thin strips
- ¼ pound coagulated blood, drained and cut into cubes
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 ounces miswa
- 1 bunch fresh chili leaves, stems trimmed
Instructions
- In a large pot over medium heat, heat oil. Add onions, garlic, and ginger, and cook until softened.
- Add pork and heart. Cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned.
- Add fish sauce and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add water and bring to a boil, skimming scum that floats on top.
- Lower heat, cover, and continue to cook for about 15 to 20 minutes or until meat is tender.
- Increase heat to high and bring the broth to a rolling boil.
- Add pork liver and cook, without stirring, for about 2 to 3 minutes. Stir and continue to cook for another 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add coagulated blood and cook, without stirring, for about 2 to 3 minutes. Stir and continue to cook for about 8 to 10 minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add miswa and continue to cook for 1 to 2 minutes.
- Add chili leaves, pressing down into the broth. Turn off the heat and cover to allow residual steam to cook leaves. Serve hot.
Notes
- The recipe calls for coagulated blood. Cut it into pieces and bring the broth to a rolling boil before adding. Do not stir for a few minutes to allow it to set.
- Another alternative method is to cook the blood separately before adding it to the soup. In a sauce pot, combine pork blood and enough water to cover. Bring to a boil for about 2 to 3 minutes or until firm. Drain well and cut into cubes. Add to the soup during the last 10 minutes of cook time.
