Dinuguan

Philippines · Southeast Asia

Short description: This dark stew is savory, tangy, mineral-rich, and often served with rice cakes or plain rice.
Ingredients: Pork, pork offal, pork blood, vinegar, garlic, onion, ginger, green chilies, bay leaf, and pepper.
Cultural note: It is associated with nose-to-tail cooking, using blood and offal as flavor-building ingredients rather than waste.
Common misconception: Its dark color does not come from soy sauce or chocolate; the sauce is based on blood and vinegar.
