  • 1 1/2 tablespoons salt

  • Rub 2 teaspoons salt all over the boiled pork. Let it stay for 10 minutes.
  • Heat oil in a deep-fryer or cooking pot. Deep-fry the boiled pork for 8 minutes. Remove from the fryer and let it rest for 5 minutes.Put the pork back into the fryer and continue to fry for 3 minutes more, or until crispy. Slice the crispy pork into bite-size pieces. Set aside.
  • Make the dinuguan sauce by heating 3 tablespoons of cooking oil in a cooking pot. Saute onion, ginger, and garlic.
  • Once onion softens, pour the pork stock. Note: this is the water used to boil the liempo earlier.
  • Add lemongrass. Cover and boil in medium heat for 8 minutes. Remove lemongrass and ginger from the pot.
  • Pour-in pork blood. Stir thoroughly while waiting for it to boil.
  • Add Knorr Pork Cube. Stir.
