HOW TO COOK PORK MENUDO

HOW TO COOK PORK MENUDO

I love Pork Menudo. It is a traditional dish in the Philippines but actually did not originate here. Pork Menudo has many versions too because many countries have learned to cook it. It became popular in the United States when the Spaniards reached America during the time of Captain Hernan Cortez. Pork Menudo became known for its good combination of ingredients specially the meat and liver. I have learned how to cook Pork Menudo back in college.

Chicken Sisig is great for beer drinkers as pulutan. I was thinking if i could make myself my very own Chicken Sisig recipe so I decided to gather informations about this dish.
