Gave this recipe a few twists, all worth it. I used pork liver pate instead of cubed liver, and put it in after the pork cubes were simmering in tomato sauce, soy sauce, and lemon juice. I added in sliced hotdog as well. I also dropped in1/2 pork cube. The result was the kind of Pork Menudo that I used to taste in handaans in the Philippines, something I’ve been trying to achieve since time immemorial! Try it, you just might like it! Thanks perlypinky for giving me the basics!
