Lugaw, Beef Cheeks and Tripe Combination

Lugaw, Beef Cheeks and Tripe Combination. To those who are asking where is the lugaw that went with my Crispy Tokwa’t Baboy that was posted the other day here it is. On this version of my lugaw I have to do with what is readily available ingredients on my location. I could always cooked arroz caldo where chicken is readily available whenever one’s location but Tokwa’t Baboy goes best with beef tripe lugaw.

I have been keeping the beef cheeks and tripe for some time now, waiting for the right time to cook my lugaw. As I said it has been raining lately so the best time was last Sunday where everybody are at home. Cooking is basically similar to my other Lugaw and Arroz Cado recipes, just click the ling below should you are looking for other version.
