Pork Lauya Recipe | Delicious Pinoy Stew Pork

Lotbit's Pork Lauya Recipe - iampinoypi

Lauya is a traditional Filipino stew, typically made from pork meat. Beef lauya is an alternative where beef is used instead of pork meat. It is thicker, more robust and flavorful than the original dish.

It is delicious to eat with hot broth especially when the weather is getting cold. Of course in the Philippines the weather is mostly warm and humid as a tropical country this is what we have, but Filipinos still enjoy eating with soup especially Lauya. You can find many versions of it especially in different islands of the Philippines because it depends on what vegetables can be bought in the market so the cooking and ingredients of Lauya are different.

Other Versions of Lauya

On other islands in the Philippines, you can see them mixing Lauya with atsuete, maybe they put it to make the soup colorful. Since atsuete has no taste, it will not change the true flavory taste of Lauya soup. Some pinoys also mix red bean with Lauya soup and they even add sampaloc sometimes which is just the same taste of sinigang. Even though it has other names such as Lauya or Laoya, due to the different dialects in the Philippines, it is still one of the favorites or especial soup with beef or pork.

For now, we will use this version of lauya flavoring with lemongrass and Laurel leaves to make it even tastier.
