Steps:
- In a bowl, combine pork, soy sauce, lemon or kalamansi juice and ground pepper. Mix together and let it marinate for at least an hour.
- In a deep pan, heat oil over medium heat and cook hotdogs until lightly browned. Remove and set aside. In the same pan, add liver and quickly cook for about 30 seconds. Set aside.
- Using the same pan, saute onions for about 30 seconds. Add garlic and stir. Cook until fragrant and soft for about a minute over medium fire. Add marinated pork to the pan and cook for about a minute. Add remaining marinade (if any) to the pan and cook until lightly browned for about 10 minutes.
- Add chopped tomatoes and cook until softened. Add tomato sauce, bay leaves and water. Bring into a boil then reduce heat to simmer until meat is tender and sauce is reduced for about 45 minutes while stirring occasionally. Add another cup of water if needed making sure pork is tender.
- Add potatoes and carrots. Allow them to cook until almost tender for about 5-10 minutes. Add fish sauce, raisins, pork liver and fried hotdogs. Let it cook for few minutes until sauce is thickened while stirring occasionally. Make sure not to cook longer or else the liver will get chewy.
- Taste to see if salt and ground pepper is needed, and add accordingly. Add bell peppers to the pan and gently stir. Allow to cook for few minutes while stirring occasionally. Remove pan from heat and transfer Pork Menudo in a serving dish. Best when served over steamed rice or pandesal (that is how my hubby eats menudo). Enjoy!

- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil; add the pork chops and return to a boil. Cook the pork chops at a boil for 5 minutes, remove, and set aside to cool.

Tips:
- When selecting pork, choose one with a good amount of fat marbling to ensure the menudo is flavorful and moist.
- Use a large pot or Dutch oven to cook the menudo so that it has enough space to simmer and the flavors can develop.
- Don't overcrowd the pot with ingredients. If you need to cook the menudo in batches, do so in order to prevent the ingredients from steaming instead of simmering.
- Be patient and let the menudo simmer for at least 2 hours, or up to 4 hours for a richer flavor.
- Serve the menudo with your favorite toppings, such as chopped onions, cilantro, lime wedges, and tortillas.
