Directions

Step 1

Prepare the pork belly and liver by slicing them into thin, bite-sized pieces. Set aside.

Step 2

Finely mince the garlic, dice the onion, and slice the ginger into thin strips.

Step 3

Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté the garlic, onion, and ginger until fragrant and the onion is translucent, about 3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the pork belly slices to the pot and cook until lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the fish sauce and cook for another 2 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.

Step 6

Pour in the pork broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 20 minutes.

Step 7

While the broth is simmering, cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Step 8

Add the pork liver slices to the pot and cook for another 5 minutes, or until the liver is just cooked through.

Step 9

Season the soup with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 10

Shred the cabbage and thinly slice the green onions. Add them to the pot and cook for 2 more minutes.

Step 11

To assemble the dish, divide the cooked egg noodles among serving bowls. Ladle the hot soup with the pork, liver, and vegetables over the noodles.

Step 12

Top each bowl with slices of hard-boiled egg, crushed chicharron, and additional green onions as garnish.

Step 13

Serve hot with calamansi or lemon wedges on the side for a tangy kick. Enjoy your Filipino Pork Noodle Soup!
