HOW TO COOK BULALO

Bulalo or Bone Marrow Soup is one of the best traditional dishes in the Philippines and how to cook it is very easy. I like this dish because of its rich and delicious soup combined with vegetables. This is the best dish for me during rainy days season, and you feel me. Cold noon with hot soup would be perfect right?

It was raining when I woke up this morning and the air was crisp. I couldn’t help myself thinking of anything I could do today and one thing came up to my mind- this is the perfect time for this dish! I had cooked it several times before but this time was like I barely know how to cook Bulalo so I asked my mom for the recipe because she is the one who taught me this dish. And now I am blogging it not just for the future referrence but to share it with you. Here is my bulalo recipe, fellas:
