Cooking Tips:
-
Preparing the dish demands fresh pork ingredients like belly, liver, and blood. These elements' quality directly enhances the dish's flavor and enjoyment.
-
Balancing flavors is crucial for delicious stew. While following the recipe, monitor vinegar, salt, and seasoning amounts. Taste periodically and adjust these to suit your preference for a tangier or more savory dish.
- Allowing the blood stew to cook gently over low heat is essential. This simmering process blends the flavors harmoniously, creating a richer, more satisfying taste. Additionally, simmering thickens the sauce and guarantees the pork and other components reach the desired doneness for safe consumption.
