This pork dinuguan recipe I have here is for those who loves to eat dinuguan but dislike eating the intestines and other innards mixed in the traditional pork dinuguan dish. It contains only pork belly, pork liver and of course pork blood. Cooking dinuguan is not as hard as you think. The only hard part is obtaining the pork blood which is not sold in supermarkets. You can only find it in wet markets and you have to be early on going to the market because it is usually sold out and also for you to be sure the pork blood is still fresh.
To cook pork dinuguan; Cook the pork in approximately 3 cups of water for 30 minutes. Let it cool then slice the pork into cubes. Set aside the meat stock. In a wok or kawali, sauté the garlic and onion in oil for 5 minutes. Then add the pork, liver, patis, MSG and salt. Then pour in the vinegar and boil without stirring. Afterwards pour in the meat stock and simmer for 10 minutes. Add the pig’s blood and sugar and stir occasionally until the mixture thickens. Put the oregano and green chili then let it simmer again for 5 minutes.

Can i cook without the MSG? Is there a substitute?
Hi JR, just omit the msg.

My team love it so much and they keep craving and requesting for me to cook again and again. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe.

Hi Maine,
I’d like to try your recipe for Dinuguan. sound very very good. but I live in Melbourne, Australia and
can’t find Pig’s blood. I was told that I can substitute it with Black Pudding. Is this true? Thanks, Noel
Hi Noel, I’m not sure if you can use black pudding because when cooking dinuguan, you need fresh pork blood.
I’m thankful for finding this pork dinuguan. I don’t like to eat dinuguan with pork innards so this one is what I’m looking for! Thanks again.
Hi Maine, thanks also for your comment and good luck on your cooking!
