Menudo (Diced Pork in Tomato Sauce)

 

An easy to prepare dish :)

2 tablespoons oil

1 small onion, chopped

1 tablespoon chopped garlic

1 kg pork shoulder cut into 1/2 inch pieces

1 large potato, cubed

1 cup water

2 cups canned tomato sauce

2 tablespoons soy sauce or to taste

2 tablespoons calamansi juice

 

Heat oil in a large frying pan or wok and saute onion for about a minute. Add garlic and saute for another minute.

Add pork and stir to brown the pork pieces evenly. Add potatoes and carrots and stir to mix.

Pour water and simmer for about 15 minutes. Blend in tomato sauce, soy sauce and calamansi juice. Stir to combine well.

Bring to a boil, then immediately lower heat. Simmer until pork is cooked and potatoes and carrots are tender (about 15 minutes).
