The dish is made from a base of garlic, onions, and tomatoes. Sliced or diced pork and liver are then added. To make this a complete dish in itself there are variations on the vegetables that are placed such as: diced potations, raisins, diced, green peas, carrots, green bell peppers, soy sauce, and vinegar. The distinct color and taste comes from the mixture of calamansi and tomato sauce. Some recipes add hotdog or sausage for added meat and flavor.

Today, cooking Menudo has become a lot easier because there are flavored mixes available in grocery stores.
