Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups pig blood
  • 1 cup vinegar (½ for mixing with pig's blood and ½ for cooking)
  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 big red onion (chopped)
  • 2 pounds pork belly (cut into bite-sized pieces)
  • 2 tablespoons fish sauce
  • ½ tablespoon salt
  • ½ tablespoon pepper
  • 2 pieces bay leaves
  • 1 cup water
  • 4-6 pieces green long chili peppers

Instructions
 

  • Mix ½ cup vinegar with pig's blood. Set aside.
  • In a large pot over medium heat, sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic in oil until they become tender and aromatic.
  • Add the pork belly to the pot and cook until the fat is rendered. Stir in fish sauce, bay leaves, and season with salt and pepper.
  • Pour in the vinegar and let it simmer for 2 minutes without stirring.
  • Stir in the blood and vinegar mixture continuously to prevent clumping. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
  • Pour in the water and add the green long chili peppers. Bring the mixture to a boil, then cover the pot with a lid, lower the heat to low, and cook until the pork is tender.
  • Once the pork is tender, remove the lid and let the stew simmer for a few minutes to reach the desired sauce consistency.
  • Turn off the heat and transfer the stew into serving bowls.
