Preparation

''Dinuguan'' is typically made with pork, pork blood, peppers, onion, garlic, water, white vinegar, bay leaves and sugar. The onion is sautéed, then garlic and pork is added. Water is boiled in the same pot, then the bay leaves and vinegar are added. It is simmered until it is thick, then sugar, salt and black pepper is added.


List of other regional variations

Other regional variants of ''dinuguan'' include: * In Aklan, it is called ''dinuguan sa batwan'', using the '' batwan'' fruit. * In Bulacan, it is called ''serkele/sirkele'', a specialty similar in ingredients to ''dinuguan'' but without pig's blood and using beef internal organs; soupy and on the sour side; other reports cow blood is used. * In Marinduque, a local variant known as ''kari-kari'' is cooked with the same ingredients but is stewed until almost dry before the pork blood is added. * In Bicol, it is called ''tinutungang dinuguan'', meaning, it contains coconut milk and chilies; it is called such because coconut milk is added, and charcoal embers are used to  cook the milk until curdling point at which it forms creamy reduction or ''latik''. * In Capiz, ''dinuguan na manok sa pinulipot nga abalong''. * In Cebu, ''dugo-dugo'', which has itself many versions, with some adding cubes of solidified blood, just like in Pampanga's ''tid-tad'', and other versions omitting the pork liver from the dish while the innards are chopped so finely down to the millimetre, so that the end result is a pork blood stew without the recognizable ingredients. * In the Ilocos Region, in San Nicolas, it is a crispy ''dinuguan'' that uses bagnet slices. While in Ilocos Norte, it is called ''mollo'', a brownish and watery version of ''dinuguan''. * In Laguna, ''dinuguang kalabaw'', ''dinuguan'' using the more flavorful " carabeef". * In Leyte (Southern), it is mixed with banana blossoms and pig's blood. * In Manila, ''dinuguan sa usbong ng sampalok'', a Tagalog blood stew with young tamarind leaves. * In Masbate, it is called ''sinanglay'', where they add ''tanglad'' (lemongrass). * In
