Ulam o Pulutan? Well, because I don’t drink it’s ulam for me…. take note.. with unli rice yan ha. Kasi I don’t think you can eat just one serving of rice with Dinakdakan right in front of you..LOL! Tama ba ko mommies?
Dinakdakan is a popular Ilokano dish made with pork ears, cheeks, jowls, and pork liver tossed in a creamy dressing with calamansi juice, pork brain, and chili peppers. But because there’s no pork brain available, I used mayonnaise na lang. Maybe next time, I’ll get a chance to use pork brain.
WATCH THE VIDEO HERE:
To make this Dinakdakan, I just boiled pork ears, cheeks, and pork liver in water seasoned with salt, bay leaf, garlic, and peppercorns until tender. Then the hubby grilled it until crispy. To make the sauce, I just combined mayonnaise, calamansi juice, liquid seasoning, and sliced onions. Then I combined the sauce and the sliced meat.
I didn’t add finger chilies/siling labuyo because Twinkle will also be eating. Syempre, ayaw ng kids ang spicy. Later on, that evening, this became hubby’s pulutan. That’s when he added finger chilies na…
How about you mommies? Do you also cook Dinakdakan for your family?
