Goto is a type of rice porridge or congee that uses ox tripe as one of the major ingredients. This has a similar consistency with Arroz Caldo and Lugaw; cooking procedure and most of the ingredients are also comparable.
This can be considered either as a breakfast food or a heavy snack. Usually served hot, this food is commonly consumed early in the morning to break hunger brought about by several hours of deprivation. As an afternoon snack, eating Goto bring back the consumed energy helping you to get back on track. This is also a good midnight snack for hard workers who spent the whole day at work and even party goers who had too much beer or hard liquor. There is nothing like a hot bowl of Goto paired with tokwa’t baboy to sober you up.
It is recommended to tenderize the ox tripe to bring out the desired texture. I usually cook it in a pressure cooker for 30 minutes to achieve the texture that I want. If time is not a big factor for you, the conventional method of slow cooking still works best. Use a slow cooker or cook it in a stovetop in low heat for several hours until the tripe becomes soft and gooey. As for the spices, feel free to use onion powder and garlic powder to boost the flavor. Salt can also be used as a replacement for fish sauce.

November 13, 2010 at 10:25 amIt’s better to use the cooked one already or kanin lamig if you have, but if you need to use the bigas then ofcours you have to wash it first as usual 🙂

December 17, 2010 at 11:54 amThanks for the video.. Appreciate all the effort to help others.
Is it possible for you to add yield portions on your recipes?
So it is easier for us to multiply or subtract ingredients as the required servings increases or decreases?
Again, thank you very much.
