How To Make Menudo

My Vietnamese spin on Mexican menudo that does not compromise the taste. A rich, porky flavor soup full of flavor.
Menudo:
4 pounds honeycomb beef tripe, cut into 1-inch pieces
1.5 pound pig foot trotter
2 liters water
1 bulb peeled garlic
2 large yellow onions
1 Tbsp salt
2 Tbsp sugar
1 tbsp chili powder
1 Tbsp chicken bouillon, Lee Kum Kee Brand
3 Bay leaves
1 Tbsp black pepper
1 tsp dried Mexican oregano
3 cans 29oz white hominy, drained
Chili Sauce:
15 dried guajillo chilies, seeds removed
6 cloves garlic
1 tsp dried Mexican oregano
1 Bay leave
Garnish:
1/2 red onion, diced
1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 lemon/lime
dried Mexican oregano
chili flakes

Did anyone notice that was an orange and not a lemon?

[@Maifoodhaven]

First Last That's lemon not orange. My house has a huge tree of lemon 😂

[@AAnon2404]

In Mexico there’s this fruit that looks like an orange but acts like a lemon. I know it’s weird. But maybe she’s using that

[@sammiesunshine926]

that's a mf orange. lie again 😂😂😂

That’s lemon 🍋 I bought some from the grocery store the color from the outside it orange but it actually lemon

Sugar? Tf

[@christylee62]

Thank You For This Inspiring Video. I'm going to make this omitting the sugar,black pepper and bouillon. I'm adding more than only a tablespoon of spices and instead of the flower chili I'm adding a 2 1/2 oz. pouch of Fiesta Menudo Spice Mix. Can't wait to try this. It looks delicious. I use both pigs feet and beef feet. There is a recipe by the name of Espinazo and it has Ox tails and beef neck bones. You make it like menudo Omitting the tripe and pigs feet and hominy., Because you use the oxtails and beef neck bones and you top it off with Spanish Rice, shredded cabbage and garnish with cilantro, onions and lemon if you like. It is so good!

[@maydaygarden]

My neighbor made this recipe for her abuela and son in a crockpot. They said it was the best they ever had and I agree. She added the chopped onions, cilantro and lemon juice prior to serving. It was delicious! I'm going to adapt it to my pressure cooker to shorten the long cooking time for the feet, then the tripe & hominy before adding the chili sauce and rest of ingredients. This one is a keeper!

[@diablodavila]

I usually cook the pig feet separately.

[@klinzons]

Frank Grimey Grimes how do you add it in later and make it all have the same flavours? Or do you cook he feet in a pouch so the bones are contained?

[@christylee62]

@Arthur Cuevas That's my sentiment exactly. I'm going to make this omitting the sugar,black pepper and bouillon.

[@chilabean01]

@Arthur Cuevas I've done both. I prefer cow's feet cause of the nervio. when you add pig feet it then becomes Menzole XD

[@chilabean01]

@@klinzons pig feet and cow feet rarely separate from the bones. I cook mine separate as well and add them at the end. Cuts down on so much fat running in your caldo

As a Chinese, I would like to tell you the lee kum kee chicken powder usually goes at the last step, normally you turn off your stove and then put in your soup. We don't suggest you boil chicken powder for so long coz the optimum solution temperature is 70 ℃ to 90 ℃.

Adding sugar to the mix keeps with the old concept of yin and yang or in this case sweet and sour. I for one am willing to try it and not knock it before at least tasting it. I freaking love menudo.

[@guadluperodriquez6594]

My mom made menus on Saturday's and I don't ever remember her adding sugar, pig feet yes, and we also used a chili powder and garlic. And we never used chili flakes either. In a way yours looks good, just till you added the sugar and all that hot stuff.

Can i use pressure cooker instead boiling it for 3 hours?

Hello I loved looking at your video on how you cook Menudo. I have been cooking Menudo for some time but it never occurred to me to add chicken bouillon and Sugar. I myself add beef bouillon and was wondering what the chicken bouillon and sugar do to the flavor, does it enhance the flavor or does it change it and if so what flavor does it emit? Joaquin.

[@Maifoodhaven]

jmercado4 Adding chicken bouillon will balance the broth and sugar just to make it a little sweeter. Try my recipe you’ll know why I added them

[@jmercado4]

OK i will, Thanks!

[@nora_nayeli]

I hate menudo but I have a co worker who makes some delicious menudo. I think she said she washes the meat with vinegar and lemon three times. it makes it less stinky but the taste is still there in the menudo. Everytime she makes menudo all the batches sells out within two hours but if someone else makes it, all the batches sells out but in 8 hours. It's that good. It's cause of her why I'm trying to learn how to make it like her

[@MrDiedaily]

I have a hangover where can I find a recipe for menudo. Jaha 😎 this looks bomb.. just the way my mamasita would make it.

olga jenkins Everything needs to balance

[@captinmurica6467]

it is good medicine too .

[@olgasa6943]

This recipe shook me! My parents and grandparents are from Guadalajara, Jalisco. If I'd showed them this recipe they'd cringe. Authentic recipe is beef feet, not pork. No sugar, balancing flavors....no need to worry. Oregano, onion garlic. The Chile's: 4 guajillo, 4 pasilla. That's it! The beef foot should be cooked separately and for at least 4 hours until almost falling off the bone tender. Then combined with the menudo.

[@puffalump76]

Pig feet are better..nobody in their right mind wants beef foot..its just bone with a couple of pieces gelatinous gristle..mexicans love to add a twist to other nationalities foods..but get all "shook" if a vietnamese adds her own flair to a mexican dish...get a life.

[@watchthis1316]

Yummy

[@valedwardsmusic]

traditionally Lime not lemon, I'm not a fan of Hominy and had it at a Puerto Rican restaurant in NYC and they used washed canned Garbanzo beans instead , delicious. Also note in Mexico this dish served on Sundays as a hangover cure.

[@skyfairy1959]

Great job- great video- ! may want to soak your bay leaf first or let it absorb some broth and then chop it into pieces- ~ use a china cap or colander with slightly larger mesh- when straining chili sauce- you are leaving flavor behind- cheers

I love to see different ways to cook food. Every culture has some similarities and differences. Like in Texas we love the pig feet, but I see that Mexico likes to use cow feet...
