BULALO is a Lutong Pinoy and is Truly Filipino! It is a beef shank soup and is considered one of the most favorite soups all over the Philippines. Wherever province you visit in the Philippines, you will always find this soup recipe.
Bulalo as many Filipinos know actually originated in Batangas. It is a simple stock made by boiling beef shank, marrow bones and adding more spices and vegetables to enhance the flavors.There are many ways to cook and prepare Bulalo but the most important is - "the longer we boil the bones and tenderize the meat the more flavorful stock we get and the more special soup we can create.
