Read on to get the recipe for a Pork Hototay soup.
Pork hototay is a soup dish that is very common in Chinese restaurants in the Philippines. It's a steamy mixture of pork, pork liver, vegetables, spices - and an egg (if desired) which is added last, after the soup has cooked and is ready to be served. Pork hototay goes very well with spring rolls or any kind of fried dish.
