Directions
In a large pot, heat the cooking oil over medium heat. Sauté the garlic, onion, and ginger until the onions are soft and translucent.
Add the pork cubes and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Pour in the water or pork broth, and add the bay leaves. Let it simmer for 30-40 minutes, or until the pork becomes tender.
Stir in the vinegar and soy sauce, and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Allow it to simmer for another 10 minutes without stirring (this helps to cook off the sharpness of the vinegar). Gradually pour the pig’s blood into the pot while stirring continuously to prevent the blood from coagulating. Simmer for another 10-15 minutes, or until the sauce thickens.
Season the Dinuguan with salt, pepper, and chopped green chilies (if using) to taste. Continue to simmer until the sauce reaches your desired consistency. Serve the Dinuguan hot with steamed rice or puto (steamed rice cakes) for a classic pairing.
