Background
Goto is beef lugaw, a different variation of the usual rice porridge because of its unique inclusion of shredded Ox Tripe in its recipe. Its original name is arroz caldo con goto or arroz con goto, stemmed mainly from Spanish terms which mean “rice” and “soup” complimented with the Tagalog lingua, “goto” which means “tripe.” Goto is enjoyed at its highest capacity when adding condiments such as fish sauce, garlic bits, kalamnsi, and many more.
What is a beef tripe?
Ox tripe is a honeycomb-like beef part found in the stomach of an ox or cattle. It has this unique texture and taste a bit similar to liver.
What is the difference between Goto and Lugaw?
Goto is a type of elevated Lugaw that makes use of beef or ox tripe and many extra ingredients. Lugaw on the other hand, is simpler, for it makes use of usual proteins such as basic chicken and pork.
Cooking Tips
- Initial boiling should be at least 10 to 15 minutes, to give it time to disinfect. In another pot of water, boil the rinsed out beef tripe for 2 to 3 hours this time to let it surely soften.
- When cleaning the beef tripe, you can make use of vinegar to disinfect and remove unnecessary salt and impurities.
- Goto doesn’t always have to be beef. Want a different take on this meryenda? Try our Special Seafood Goto!
